My long term goal is to get the Hannah the Dog stories into a book format, not just audiobook. Until I can get illustrations completed, we have the stories available in audio.
Why listen to stories? As a teacher, I know how important it is to get kids eyes on paper reading and improving their reading skills. I will also tell you as a teacher, that listening comprehension is also very important. Listening is a skill that also takes work. After spending hours in my car with all the long commutes I used to do, I found listening to podcasts a beneficial way to kill the time, and actually help it not seem so long. In fact, when you really get into the story you are listening, you might find yourself wanting a longer commute! You might just find these stories help your children enjoy the commute in your car a little more, too, while working on listening comprehension!
Below is a great article from Scholastic on the benefits of listening:
The Literacy Benefits of Listening: Use audio books to bring life and depth to your child’s reading experience.
