Every parent knows that kids’ brains are like sponges, soaking up drops of information and
words (even the four-letter ones we don’t always want them to). But did you know that 85
percent of what we learn, we learn by listening?
According to the Audio Publishers Association, listening increases reading accuracy by 52
percent, and combining print and audio increases memory 40 percent over print alone.
Audiobooks.com is making it easier (and more fun!) for kids to expand their vocabularies,
increase reading speed, improve fluency, and teach pronunciation. No matter what genre your
child gravitates towards, Audiobooks.com has lots of exciting kids content that can be enjoyed
while waiting for appointments, before bedtime, and during car rides (the age-old question
“Are we there yet?” will become a thing of the past, even for reluctant readers).
Just in time for back to school, make any time learning time.

That really makes me mad that anyone would try/take away the joy of reading from anyone much less a kid. I never would have thought about audio books for kids but I think it is a wonderful ideal. Have you thought about getting the book to go with the tape and see if he might try to read it.
