CGHS Library Audio and eBooks are Available to You Over the Summer
Besides being fun to listen to, audiobooks have a positive impact on reading skills. The recent Tales2go research study showed that if you spend 20 minutes a day, five days a week listening to audiobooks, you gain "58 percent of the annual expected gain in reading achievement in just 10 weeks, putting [listeners] three months ahead of control students."
The high school audiobooks are available to you over the summer. The directions for setting it up the first time are here. Email me for the library access code.
"Lots of audio titles are available through searchable services like Beelingo.com, which uses the wealth of Librivox online books. Librivox is a non-profit entity that offers over 9,600 cataloged audio classics that are recorded by almost 7,500 volunteer readers and are available online for free." (From Audiobooks and the Summer Reading Push by Phil Goerner)
CGHS Library also has ebooks available, and the instructions for setting your access on a smartphone or reader for the first time are here. If you run into trouble, let me know. Also, remember that your nearest public library has a wealth of books to read and listen to.
