Audiobooks
Audiobooks can help some kids with their vocabulary and their attention span. I have always had a hard time reading for long periods of time and when I read I can't take that much from it. When I read and have a audiobook playing as I follow along I get much more information from the book and I can understand the vocabulary much better.
If you start giving a kid an audiobook before they are able to read this can have a huge effect on their vocabulary. “Introduce new vocabulary or difficult proper names or locales. Sidestep unfamiliar dialects or accents, Old English, and old-fashioned literary styles.” (ww.readingrockets.org by denise johnson.)
People say that if you start reading at a young age that your vocabulary will be better than other kids your age. I don't think there's a difference between listing to a book and reading a book besides the fact that your reading skills will increase if you read more.
People that have reading disabilities or any other type of disability will benefit greatly from audiobooks. “The program was originally launched to help blind people, but has long been a vital reading resource for people with learning disabilities such as dyslexia and for those who lack the motor skills or dexterity to hold a printed book.” (www.thoughtco.com by Andrew leibs)
Even though the main target for audiobooks are people that have a disability that makes reading impossible or hard, anyone can get them. You can buy or rent them on Audibull, Go to a talking library or you can find some on Youtube.
If you go to a talking library you will not be able to receive a Talking book if are not eligible. You can only be eligible if you have a disability that prevents you from reading. In order to be eligible you will need to see physician, ophthalmologist, occupational therapist, or rehabilitation counselor. Once you are approved you will start to receive talking books.
When I was looking at this topic I saw a lot of people say that you don't get the same information out of a audiobook as they have from a regular book. “So on an intellectual level, is listening to a book really just as good as reading it? Pretty much, but it depends on the type of book. Studies on electronic media consumption are still relatively limited, and the audio book genre has been ‘woefully unaddressed by the academic community in general’.” (www.forbes.com by Olga khazan)
I have read a lot of book and listened to a couple of books. In my experience with both of these I have never had a bad experience with a audiobook, but I have always had a hard time reading for long time. When I read and have a audiobook playing in the background to follow along with makes it easier to take on information and it helps so I don't get lost.
I've heard lots of arguments that say books are better for our brain than audiobooks. That when we read can picture things more vividly and we can almost relive an experience. I think it all depend on the person that is reading or listening to the book. “When we read, the brain does not make a real distinction between reading about an experience and actually living it. Whether
reading or experiencing it, the same neurological regions are stimulated.” (http://oedb.org)
I have had the same experience with an audiobook. I am reading Brave New World and I have been using a couple of methods, the best method for me has been to use both the book and the audiobook so I can keep track of where I am and I can pay attention for longer times. I have listin to a little bit of the book without looking at a book and I have imagent the same things in my mind in the same level of detail.
Audiobooks can help some kids with their vocabulary and their attention span. Audiobooks have helped me and many other people from, having a disability that makes it difficult to read or impossible, to helping people pay attention and following along with a book in hand.
