It is a great idea to read to your children, but in this fast-paced society it is not always possible. Many parents these days are working evening shifts or two jobs to keep up their income and do not have the time to sit down and read with their children. Some parents have a problem with their eyesight and cannot read as well as they used to. Childrens audio books fill this missing gap perfectly.
Childrens audio books usually have narrators with soothing voices, but keep in mind that some may have voices that are more threatening and you should avoid these. The children will always have their own personal preference when it comes to a narrator’s voice, so try to keep this in mind when purchasing these books. If at all possible try to find a narrator that has a similar tone of voice to yours, so that your children feel more comfortable listening to the books. If you go online to look at books you can sometimes hear a sample of the voice before you make a purchase.
These books are great for children that have not yet learned how to read or for older children that have a more difficult time reading. It is great to keep a stack of these books in the car so that you can better focus on your driving by keeping your children occupied and listening to a great story. Childrens audio books are especially useful for long car trips. Many of the books that you enjoyed while you were growing up are available in audio format, and this is a great way to expose your children to them as well.
Something fun you can do for your children is make your own audio books for them for the times when you will not be available to read a bedtime story. If you are one of the many that has to miss some bedtimes, you can record childrens audio books using your own voice with a tape recorder. You can choose some of your favorite books to read and they will be considered very valuable to your children. Don’t be fooled – just because they may not be as slick and smooth as commercial books, your children will love them much more.
