Benefits of listening to children books on tape
Reading to our children is one of the best ways to promote their
success at school, as well as build up their self-esteem. In
addition to reading to our kids learning to listen also has
extremely fundamental benefits. Listening to stories from
books on tape can get kids to integrate language with imagination.
Listening to books on tape rolls words and images together and can
get children to create or visual the ideal scene within their minds
and stimulates their imagination.
Oral communication is a very important skill to develop within
our children. There was once a time when the spoken word was
all people had, there were no books or articles to read, and
knowledge was passed down to people through the spoken word.
Books on tape can provide this knowledge transfer to the listener
especially with excellent literature created by well known past and
present authors.
When choosing books on tape consider some of the well known
masterpieces from the past, or even some of the children stories
that have been created by today's authors:
- Huckleberry Finn - is one of the better older classic books
on tape to listen to. Listen to the adventures of Huck and
allow your child's imagination to soar with him.
- Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix (Book 5 Audio CD)
- Listen to Harry's coming of age story while he faces the
thorny transition into adulthood.
- Dr Seuss's - The Cat in the Hat and Green Eggs and Ham -
Excellent books on tape for that younger child. Both can
help children learn to read and allows them to hear those single
vowel sounds from which they can learn how to form words.
- Shakespeare for Children - by Jim Weiss - Uses a distinctive
storytelling style in a way that simplifies but doesn't down
play the literary quality. He uses phrases and
descriptions from the text and can add life to the characters
with voices and emphasis. Great for holding the attention
for listeners of all ages.
