There are a number of reasons why audio books are a great idea for both children and businesses. Children have been getting enjoyment out of audio books for a number of years. They are great primarily because they allow children to follow along with the audio to the words in the physical book. This helps them in their reading comprehension, and their ability to see and understand the pronunciation and meanings of words. They can also be a great way for a child to learn another language.
Most of the time, the books are read by the author of the book or by a famous celebrity. They sometimes include musical soundtracks as well as a plethora of sound effects. For example, if the author is talking about pigs, their will usually be an oink oink sound in the background. Audio books don't require light, so they can be played no matter the time of day; in the car ride home from school, or at night to help a sleepy child fall asleep.
For businesses it is a very useful tool and major companies from all sectors use them on a regular basis. Think of it as a mini promotional speaking seminar, there are many different categories and topics to choose from. Workers can brush up on skills they have, as well as learn new ideas and techniques. There are books that can help a person achieve better self confidence, help boost their public speaking capabilities, the possibilities are almost endless.
In addition to all of the information that they provide, audio books are 100% portable. That means that they go where you go. All you need is a CD player which comes standard in most vehicles. Moreover, many audio books are now available via mp3 format so you can use an iPod or a computer to play your audio books. They are a great way to pass the time, especially while sitting in traffic, or on the commute to home or work. That way you are making great use of your time and not wasting a moment of your day.
The second is that they are completely hands free so you don't need your hands to play them. Unlike a book, you need to have two hands free and your eyes available so that you can concentrate on the book. With an audio book, however, you can be doing lots of other things while listening, including cooking dinner, taking a bath, brushing your hair, or driving.
There are lots of options when it comes to audio books. Most books nowadays are available in an audio version. Even the bible has an audio version. You can find audio books in bookstores, on iTunes, at Amazon.com, and more. So the next time you go out searching for an audio book for your child, pick one up for yourself too!
