AUDIO BOOKS

I was recently introduced to audiobooks by a friend of mine, and was utterly blown away at the possibilities that they bring with them. Our lives are often so rushed that we don't always have time to do the things we love, like READ. However, we often spend long periods behind the wheel of a motor car. This got me thinking! Audiobooks might just provide me with the opportunity to 'read' all the books that I want to. By purchasing an audiobook, and downloading it onto an ipod, one can listen to books while you are driving, or sitting in a car (or somewhere else) waiting for children to finish school or sport. People who travel a lot from one town to the next could listen to books instead of the radio.

Older children love listening to music, so they would probably listen to audiobooks.This is great for children who dislike reading, especially in the higher grades when there are book reviews and set books that have to be read.

I use www.audible.com/ They have a huge selection of audio books, they have a customer support department in case you have problems, and are very efficient. Give it a try if you have not done so already.
