Duke and Daisy would love to help your children have fun while they learn since they may be spending more time at home instead of classroom learning. That’s why Duke took Daisy on a trip to find out more about audiobooks for kids. Come along and explore the ten great ways the audiobooks make your kids’ lives better.

Duke and Daisy started their journey with a visit to Melissa Taylor, the creator of Imagination Soup.

Melissa wants to inspire kids to take their eyes off-screen time and increase their reading. In her article Get Kids Off Screen Time: 27 Favorite Audiobooks for kids

She recommends that parents try audiobooks for the following reasons to increase your kids skills.

1. Increase their reading skills
2. Improve their vocabulary
3. Expand their background knowledge of topics
4. Aid in visualization
5. Grow listening skills

Duke and Daisy traveled on Scholiastic Parents, who have the following 5 Reasons Why Audiobooks are Great for Kids.

4. There’s no stigma for struggling readers.
5. Audiobooks are fun.
