Audio Books: The Perfect Way to Multitask

Why should I listen to audio books?

• Like books, audio books can help you increase your vocabulary by hearing different words.

• They can help you learn a new language! Audio books can help with comprehension, fluency, and pronunciation.

• You can imagine the story better because audio allows our brain more room to engage in visual processes.

• You can reduce negative thinking since listening to someone reading out loud can replace those nagging, negative thoughts.

• Rest your eyes and improve your sleep. Audio books can take away eye strain that you may experience when reading a book or an e-book. In turn, a reduction in the blue light from an e-book helps us get better sleep, and who wouldn’t want that?

• It’s a great alternative- especially if you’re not prone to sitting down and reading a book, or when you just don’t have time! Listening to audio books while doing the dishes, vacuuming, driving, or going for a walking can make all these activities more enjoyable.
