Audiobooks

A powerful tool in the acquisition of language.

 

Putting a finger on the text while listening to the audio can improve language comprehension and fluency. * That is why we have introduced audiobooks, read at a deliberate pace, so that adults can follow along while reading our HiLo books.

The book/audiobook pairs help emerging readers engage with the content in two modalities…and they’re fun!
