Listened to any great books recently?!? 
 Come check our out awesome selection of unabridged books on CD!  We also have text copies to go along with many of audiobooks, so you can read along if you choose.

  WHY AUDIOBOOKS?
 Reading aloud (and listening to others doing so) is the single most important activity for developing proficient reading skills.

Children can listen to a higher level than they can read, so listening to stories helps build comprehension, vocabulary, introduces new concepts and models good reading.

Listening to stories helps kids get interested in books and want to read on their own.

Audiobooks provide ESL students, struggling and reluctant readers with an alternative way to gain information and enjoy the content of stories.

Exposes kids to quality literature.
You can listen alone, with a friend or with your family...in your room, in the car, while hanging out on the porch... IT"S FUN!!
