We should talk a bit about audiobooks.

Some people believe listening to an audiobook isn’t really reading.

Listening to an audiobook is reading.

You are welcome to think of it as adapted reading.

The result is the same. There was a book, it was read, someone learned or garnered enjoyment.

I am an avid reader.

I’m always reading 3 books.
1. A physical book
2. An ereader book
3. An audiobook

All the books have the same result. They are read.

When people state audiobooks aren’t really books, they’re forgetting there are people in our world who don’t find reading words easy.

Many very intelligent people struggle with written words.

That doesn’t make them less intelligent.
It makes them human.

There many people who are learning a new language.

Utilizing an Audiobook along with a written book is great.

Just listening to the book also works.

I’m currently listening to the @BannedBookClub selection.

I highly recommend the audiobook version. The narrator is brilliant.

Love,

My middle son did miserably in school because he was an audio learner and not a visual learner. In his 20s he now participates in a book club because he can listen to an audio book.

I get that. I have one who has multiple reading related issues. He does great with audiobooks or audio learning. He’s just completing his first degree. Recognizing the problem and looking for alternatives was such a confidence boost.

I’m happy your son continues to read via audiobook! 💛
