Audiobooks Rock!

Recorded Books(Anna Szalkowski)

How they work...

Recorded Books are audio recordings of books. They are commonly known as books on tape or audiobooks. An individual reads a book aloud and is recorded doing so, it results in an audiobook. Many non-profit organizations and commercial companies produces these recodings.

Recorded books are great for students who understand reading material for their grade level, but may have a hard time with comprehension and decoding. Audiobooks can benefit all readers but especially, second language learners, students with disabilities, students with visual impairments, or students with dyslexia. However audiobooks paired with printed text can be helpful to all learners.
