But also that she’d be closer to reading along with this one than, say, Harry Potter. Which is probably fine as they can be a bit boring for her.īut then I said yes to Beezus and Ramona, knowing that she would want to listen to it but would not necessarily be able to read along yet. I can’t seem to find any easy readers on the list of Kindle books with Audible narration.

But the stories she wants to listen to are much more complex chapter books, such as Harry Potter and The Mysterious Benedict Society (both series that we’ve been listening to as a family). Think short picture books with simple words and lots of repetition. The books that she can read are very basic.

Our issue, at the moment, is that Daphne’s reading level and her interest and comprehension level are so far apart. They also show that reading immersion helps kids who struggle with reading. The feature is especially enjoyed by kids learning to read. It sparks an extra connection that boosts engagement, comprehension, and retention, taking you deeper into the book. Immersion Reading immerses you in a story by narrating and highlighting text as you read. Here’s what Amazon and Audible say about it :: We’ve tried a couple of books in this Immersion Reading program - that are available as both Kindle books and audiobooks and have this transition-to-read feature that highlights the text as it’s being read. While big sis is at gymnastics, Daphne gets to listen and read along to a story on the Kindle Fire. As always, all opinions expressed are my own. This is an Immersion Reading experience for kids that combines audiobooks with digital books in a partnership between Amazon and Audible.Ī big thank you to Audible for sponsoring this post. Now we’re trying something new for six year old Daphne who is learning to read. I listen to fiction and nonfiction books on my own and, as a family we always seem to have a good kids’ audiobook that we’re listening to together here and there throughout our days - in the car, while cooking or cleaning in the kitchen, and while drawing and doodling together. We are big fans of audiobooks in this house.
