Recently, on a car trip with my little boy, I decided to try listening to an audiobook. In the past this hasn't been The Graveyard Book success. He loves to be read to in person, both picture books and chapter books. But he not a fan of listening to books in the car. At best he's indifferent, but The Graveyard Book he just asks me to turn them off. I taught him "cruft" yesterday. So I plugged in the Audio of Gaiman's Graveyard book. For those of you who don't know, Gaiman reads his own audiobooks more often than not. Lovely accent aside, he's fucking amazing The Graveyard Book it. Really irritatingly good. We listened to it for about 10 minutes or so, then I heard him saying, "Dad? I sighed and turned it off, I expected him to tell me that this was boring and we should stop. I'm listening to the story and I can see the pictures in my head! Neil Gaiman as his first audio. My boy has good taste. He's slightly confused on some points: he thinks the boy's name is Jack, and he thought that the man who was coming to hurt the boy was invisible except for his hand. Which is understandable, given the way The Graveyard Book describes things, focusing on the hand and the knife. But generally he was getting it. More importantly, he was enjoying it.

  • Sreading-Enteringgrade6-2021
    St. Hilda’s & St. Hugh’s C. V. Starr Library & Learning Center Summer Reading Suggestions 2021 Entering Grade 6 Sharing Books with Older Students Here is a selection of books for you and your family to enjoy over the summer months and a few simple tips to help parents and caregivers nurture a child’s love of reading. Many of these titles can be found at your local public library (www.nypl.org) and our school’s Sora eBook collection. Students should try to read every day and are asked to read at least five books of their own choice during the summer months. Your teacher will provide one or two of these five books, depending on your grade. You may also want to refer to this list throughout the year when borrowing books from Sora, the school’s online eBook collection, as well as the school library. Make it a family value. Children are expert observers. Whether you prefer to read books, blogs, manuals or magazines, let your child see you enjoy reading. Make reading a social activity. Talk with your child about what she or he is reading, or what you have read together. Start a parent-child book club, or attend a book signing at your local bookstore. Which is better: the book or the movie? Sometimes children will be motivated to read a book because they liked the movie. Why not listen together to Tolkien’s Fellowship of the Ring, see the movie, and at the conclusion of the audiobook, celebrate by whipping up a hobbit-worthy meal? Use the books as conversation starters and allow books to lead to other learning.

  • Sound Learning Audiobook Collection Lists & Samples
    Sound Learning Audiobook Collection Lists & Samples Introduction to Summer Listening “School's out for summer” proclaims the lyrics of a popular 1970s song by Alice Cooper. Kids are thrilled, but teachers and parents want to be sure kids don't fall prey to the dreaded summer slide, a term researchers have given to studies that show that students can lose one to three months of hard-won reading skills during the school break. How can parents and other caring adults help kids keep literacy skills strong? Dr. Teri Lesesne (“Summertime and the Reading Is Required?” Knowledge Quest, v. 43, no. 5, p 46-49), children's literature and reading expert, as well as an enthusiastic audiobook advocate, recommends that we “CARE about readers” by offering kids “Choice, Access, Response, and Enthusiasm.” Lesesne’s suggestion is echoed by Search Institute, creator of a framework of 40 Developmental Assets for young people that are key to school success and development into successful and contributing adults. Search Institute names reading for pleasure as a core asset and suggests creating a family tradition of reading together each day, with all screen media— television, cell phones, tablets, computers—turned off. How can families follow the advice of Dr. Lesesne and Search Institute? Try the pleasurable magic of audiobooks! Summer’s here, and the time is right for listening as families spend lots of time in the car: from pool to practice field or on trips to cross-country treks. Audiobooks turn those hectic travel times into shared literary experiences that banish boredom. Researchers have proven that audiobooks increase a listener’s vocabulary, comprehension skills, and fluency while educators advocate audiobooks for all ages, as listening is the fundamental language art which serves as the basis of reading, writing, and speaking skills.
