Books and Other Forms of Media Part 2
How long is the audio book? The younger your child, the
shorter the story should be.
What is the age group recommendation? It's true that these
recommendations are only a general guide, but they are still a
good starting point for choosing audio books that will hold your
child's interest.
Does the story relate to a topic of interest to your child? Just as
when you're choosing regular books to read with your child, it's
helpful to choose audio books that tap into your child's
interests. Athletes love to hear sports stories, while animal
lovers might enjoy books about children and their pets.
Who is the narrator? When choosing audio books, you want a
story read by someone who speaks as expressively as
possible. Many well-known actors have actually recorded audio
books for children, so keep this in mind as you're looking for
stories.
