Advantages of audiobooks
So what are the advantages to listening to audiobooks? The biggest advantage is cost. Lots of online services offer audiobooks for free if you sign up to a subscription. It's also worth checking out your local library as they may offer the chance to stream or check out audiobooks for free.
Other benefits include:
• Portable. You can listen to an audiobook anywhere
• Enjoy having a book read to you. Audiobooks have fantastic, expressive narrators!
• Fit more reading into your schedule. Even if you still enjoy reading books, audiobooks give you the chance to listen when you can’t read like while you’re driving, or if your little one struggles with getting car sick.
• Bedtime listening. You can’t read in the dark but you can listen to a book with no problem.
• Family time. Play an audiobook when you’re in the car with the kids. It’s a great way to share a book.
• If you or one of your kiddos has dyslexia, audiobooks are a great way to enjoy books. For reading assignments, listen to the audiobook as you follow along in the physical book.
