Read the full report and check out our new top tips guides to help teachers and parents make the most of audiobooks to support children’s literacy in the classroom and at home. The rise of smart speakers has also facilitated the sharing of stories, with many services now launching storytelling apps. Audiobooks can also help parents who themselves struggle to read or lack confidence reading to share stories with their children. The ability to listen to a book as a family was found to be an important way of getting books into the home. The ‘cool factor’ of listening to stories on a digital device is also particularly appealing to reluctant readers. Children are able to access a wider range of stories through audiobooks, where difficulty understanding a written text is a barrier, with stories beyond their reading level made accessible. We also found audiobooks were effective at engaging reluctant, struggling and developing readers.
Some of the research we reviewed showed that listening to a human voice can elicit a stronger emotional response than reading a written narrative or watching a film, indicating that audiobooks have the potential to support a child’s emotional intelligence. Our review also includes evidence that listening to an audiobook requires the same cognitive skills as reading in print, and also supports the development of skills that children need to read including language comprehension and the ability to understand and retain information. They are also able to access more of a book than reading alone, as the listening experience deepens their understanding of tone, pronunciation, accents and dialects. Audiobooks offer easy access on many devices to a wide range of texts. Our review, Audiobooks and literacy, shows how audiobooks can widen children’s access to literature. With audiobook sales predicted to overtake those of ebooks in 2020 and the popularity of the format amongst children increasing by 138% in the last year alone, we set out to explore existing evidence on the role of audiobooks in supporting children’s literacy inside and outside of the classroom. Our new research review, released today, shows that engagement with audiobooks can benefit children's reading skills and enjoyment, as well as their mental wellbeing and emotional intelligence.
