Listening to an audio book can keep a kid quietly engaged for hours as it helps teach language skills such as listening comprehension, vocabulary and pronunciation. And like wordless children's books, they can instill a love of literature before a child can read as well as help a teenager discover the classics.
Headphones help keep kids focused on the audio book. You can upload CDs on to your computer to play on an MP3 player, but that is time consuming. If you download audio books, you will need an MP3 player.
For a wide range of ages, these kids’ activities promote independence and teach kids to find their own fun...something a work-at-home mom appreciates. See other kids’ activities in this series.
