Research suggests that audiobooks can significantly promote literacy in several ways:
Improved Comprehension: Audiobooks enhance understanding, particularly for struggling readers, by allowing them to hear fluent reading and proper pronunciation.
Increased Engagement: The audio format can captivate listeners, making stories more accessible and enjoyable, which encourages a love for reading.
Vocabulary Development: Listening to audiobooks exposes listeners to new vocabulary in context, aiding language acquisition and comprehension skills.
Support for Diverse Learners: Audiobooks serve as valuable tools for diverse learning styles, including those with dyslexia or visual impairments, providing an alternative means of accessing texts.
Encouragement of Independent Reading: Listening to audiobooks can motivate children to read more on their own, as they become interested in the stories and characters.
Overall, audiobooks can be a powerful complement to traditional reading, fostering literacy development across various age groups and abilities.
