Audio books raise reading scores, which is why they've been used in classrooms for decades. Literacy experts have long understood that students need to be good listeners in order to become good readers, which is why the Common Core State Standards elevates listening to a skill equal to reading, writing and speaking. Effectively, there is a link between listening to fluent words, vocabulary acquisition and proficient reading. And while we’d like to think that parents, caregivers and educators are spending a lot of time reading aloud to kids, national data would suggest otherwise; in fact, just 35% of fourth graders in the U.S. read proficiently.
Given the dramatic increase in the number of laptops and mobile devices issued/available to both students and teachers, Tales2Go is a great upgrade for your school's media center. Not convinced? Check out this peer reviewed white paper from The Literacy Lens.
