We all know how short children's attention span is. If teeners can appreciate 30-second flashy MTV images, can you imagine how fast should any images or sounds go when it comes to children, if only to hold their attention? Children's audio books have resolved that good.

If you're a concerned parent, you should be thankful there are portable devices. You might think they are distractions from your children's daily school work. Not anymore because they can be used as a reinforcement tool for learning. How? Downloadable children's audio books are now available.

There are major benefits children's audio books can bring both on the parent and the child.

For Parents

You can participate in your child's learning by listening along with him. You can even help him come up with his own children's audio book, as a short reading enhancement exercise.

It's easier for you to raise an independent reader if at an early age you immerse your child to children's audio books. This also motivates self-reliance in your child. Soon you'll find him choosing his own titles for listening.

Long hours of TV viewing are always a problem in child parenting. This can be cut into half when your child discovers how fun it is to listen to children's audio books.

Children's audio books are also a good companion for your child during a long plane ride or miles of driving. This way you won't be hearing complaints from your little junior. He is engrossed, listening to Harry Potter as he casts spells.

For Children

A reading child is stronger and wiser. Your child may not be reading but he sure is doing a lot more than that. He is imagining as he tries to make sense of all the words he hears on audio.

A child can also have more advanced reading comprehension skills. Formative years are significant years to develop the necessary skills for a lifetime of learning. Hence, start introducing your child to children's audio books now.

Listening is often the most abused skill. Parents and children alike take it as hearing. With children's audio books, any child is exposed to attentive listening as he listens on his earphones for hours, with all surrounding noises drowned out.

We've been reasonably innovative and successful in ensuring that the relevant book reaches the hands of children. I think it is time that we have for the next stage of processing: a programming library, taking an active interest in the habit of reading.
