There’s a collection at the Los Angeles Public Library we’d like to introduce you to, Vox talking books! If you’ve ever hunted for an audiobook to try to match a book or if your child has maxed out their screen time but you still need to cook a meal, this might be perfect for you and your family.
Vox Books are a wonderful addition to your reading life for those who love to have books read to them. Each book has a speaker and push buttons attached to let you listen and read along. You don’t need any additional equipment and they can be enjoyed as a family or with headphones. This collection is especially helpful for early or struggling readers. Children can practice holding a book on their own, turning pages with the page-turning prompt, and also hear words being pronounced out loud, and getting used to following along to read left to right. And, unlike bringing together a book and an audiobook, because the Vox read-along is directly from the book, it will not deviate.
Literacy comes in many forms, and studies show that read-alongs improve reading comprehension. You don’t have to worry about batteries, tapes, devices, internet access, or chargers; you just play and listen. As of now we have titles for you to enjoy in English or Spanish. Put one on hold or pick one up today via our libraries or our catalog.
