Print books meet audio books in these fun, interactive Read Alongs for early readers. Help little brains soak up even more information when you and your child play and listen along together!
Published by Vox Books – Books That Talk!, Read Alongs are popular picture books and include both fiction and nonfiction titles. We currently have 66 different titles in our collection (39 nonfiction and 27 fiction) with more, including five special editions for Spanish speakers, on the way. Through the pre-loaded sound player permanently attached to the front cover of the kid-tough book, simply push a button, and you’ll be listening and learning together in no time.
We love that our Read Alongs make reading fun for both you and your child. The books are fully portable – no need for WiFi, data or additional sound players – and the battery holds 100+ listens before needing a recharge. Read along in the car, at the park, in the waiting room, you name it! The speakers are loud enough for group listening, or there is an earphone jack for individual use.
Reading and listening are key to helping your child grow their word bank and fire up their little brains. The more words your child is exposed to, the easier it is for them to start reading on their own. New Read Alongs help you mix up your routine and are the perfect addition to your rotation of reads.
“Studies have shown that VOX Books users improve their reading comprehension by 75 percent and improve their reading accuracy by over 50 percent,” reports Library Ideas.
