STUDENT BENEFITS
All too often, students with learning disabilities have negative classroom experiences. The information is presented too quickly, the students cannot decode the vocabulary or the sheer volume of reading may be overwhelming. Learning Ally’s audiobooks can be a lifesaver that you can throw to your students before they sink into the depths of academic failure. Aside from providing access to the curriculum, audiobooks provide a number of other educational benefits:
- Audiobooks complement and reinforce what is being taught by allowing students to “read to learn,” even when they are learning to read.
- Audiobooks provide a multimodal approach to reading.
- Students become active participants in the reading process as they take notes, underline and monitor their listening comprehension.
- Audiobooks assist with word attack and decoding skills as students listen to the text being deciphered.
- Audiobooks help students manage the demands of reading by allowing them to learn auditorially.
- Audiobooks put the pleasure back in reading.
- Students with print disabilities can access the general education curriculum.
- Students can listen to the text in the author’s own language.
- Students indicate increased confidence in their reading skills and academic participation.
