Review Highlights:
I really liked that you could filter by Reading Level, Classification (fiction or nonfiction), Genre (arts & music, biographies, early reader series, graphic novels, sports, etc.), Interest Level by grade range, and Search by Keyword (e.g. Alien). It made finding an interesting story for my student a breeze.
I loved that the sentences are highlighted as they are read out loud so it's easy to follow along. The narration is professionally done and enunciated very well. Students can also easily turn off the audio and sentence highlighting and read it themselves too (at any pace). The navigation is easy to use and the audio and pages are fast loading.
Reading aloud is widely recognized as the single most important activity leading to language development. Reading aloud builds word-sound awareness, stimulates language and cognitive skills, builds motivation, curiosity, memory, exposes children to rare and new words, new ideas, and different worldviews. Perhaps most important of all, reading aloud gives children the opportunity to practice listening. And with the professional narration of the Audisee eBooks children learn about expressive reading.
My son is not a great reader, but he enjoys it when I read to him. Unfortunately, as a single mom I don't always have time. With Audisee, I was not only able to get my son hooked on the stories (without him suffering the frustration of reading them himself), but I was able to do it even when I wasn't around. Granted, I still read to him almost every night, but we are now much close to my ultimate goal of having him develop a love of stories found in books and reading for pleasure.
