There is so much to be gained by a family enjoying audiobooks together or by a child who can listen to audiobooks on his or her own. My own son, a late reader, listened to dozens of audiobooks in his seventh and eighth years during our afternoon Quiet Reading Hour. While his older sisters read alone, he played audiobooks from the Redwall series in his room on an old CD player while also building LEGO creations. Just imagine how many more books he was able to “read” that way.
