[LM_NET] Audio books & literacy

[Heidi Ginal <hginal@ADELPHIA.NET>]

Can you help with this one . . .  I am in a K - 4 building.

 

My principal came to me today and asked why we do not have an audio book
section to promote literacy.  Can any one tell me if there is any research
that documents that audio books improve literacy.  

 

Also, just curious, if you do have an audio book  section, are materials
returned promptly, in good condition?

 

Thank you.  (I did try checking the archives and could find nothing about
audio books improving literacy.)  Again, thank you so much.
