Books enlighten the soul, uplift and strengthen a person, awaken the best aspirations in him, sharpen his mind and soften his heart.

William Thackeray, English satirist

The book is a great power.

Vladimir Ilyich Lenin, Soviet revolutionary

Without books, we now can neither live, nor fight, nor suffer, nor rejoice and win, nor confidently move towards that reasonable and wonderful future in which we unshakably believe.

Many thousands of years ago, in the hands of the best representatives of mankind, the book became one of the main weapons of their struggle for truth and justice, and it was this weapon that gave these people terrible strength.

Nikolai Rubakin, Russian bibliologist, bibliographer.

The book is a tool. But not only. It introduces people to the life and struggle of other people, makes it possible to understand their experiences, their thoughts, their aspirations; it makes it possible to compare, understand the environment and transform it.

Stanislav Strumilin, Academician of the USSR Academy of Sciences

There is no better remedy for refreshing the mind than reading the ancient classics; as soon as you take one of them in your hands, even if for half an hour, you immediately feel refreshed, lightened and cleansed, uplifted and strengthened, as if refreshed by bathing in a pure spring.

Arthur Schopenhauer, German philosopher

Those who were not familiar with the creations of the ancients lived without knowing beauty.

Georg Hegel, German philosopher

No failures of history and deaf spaces of time are able to destroy human thought, fixed in hundreds, thousands and millions of manuscripts and books.

Konstantin Paustovsky, Russian Soviet writer

The book is magical. The book changed the world. It contains the memory of the human race, it is the mouthpiece of human thought. A world without a book is a world of savages.

Nikolai Morozov, creator of modern scientific chronology

Books are the spiritual testament of one generation to another, the advice of a dying old man to a young man who begins to live, an order transmitted by sentries going on vacation to sentries who take his place.

Without books, human life is empty. The book is not only our friend, but also our constant, eternal companion.

Demyan Bedny, Russian Soviet writer, poet, publicist

The book is a powerful tool of communication, labor, struggle. It equips man with the experience of the life and struggle of mankind, expands his horizon, gives him knowledge with which he can make the forces of nature serve him.

Nadezhda Krupskaya, Russian revolutionary, Soviet party, public and cultural figure.

Reading good books is a conversation with the best people of the past, and, moreover, such a conversation when they tell us only their best thoughts.

René Descartes, French philosopher, mathematician, physicist and physiologist

Reading is one of the sources of thinking and mental development.

Vasily Sukhomlinsky, an outstanding Soviet teacher and innovator.

Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body.

Joseph Addison, English poet and satirist

A good book is like a conversation with an intelligent person. The reader receives from her knowledge and generalization of reality, the ability to understand life.

Alexei Tolstoy, Russian Soviet writer and public figure

Don't forget that the most colossal tool of all-round education is reading.

Alexander Herzen, Russian publicist, writer, philosopher

Without reading there is no real education, there is not and cannot be any taste, or a word, or a multilateral breadth of understanding; Goethe and Shakespeare are equal to the whole university. Reading man survives centuries.

Alexander Herzen, Russian publicist, writer, philosopher

Collections of children's audio stories for middle-aged children up to the age of 13. Stories about friendship, emotions, fantasies, short stories about animals or just funny stories that accompany them from the first years. Choose from a large selection of children's writers and listen to their stories and play them with your kids in mp3 format.



Audio stories for children are a good and only growing element of life. I often hear: "it's impossible to listen, isn't it better to just read the story?" . Listening to stories is certainly different from reading, but is it wrong or harmful? No one argues about the importance of decoding in the learning process of reading and writing, but understanding the text, critically thinking through the content, using imagination, and grasping the connections in the heart of whoever reads or listens, and why children learn to love books.

What gives an audio story for children?

  • It allows you to listen to books that the student could not read on his own due to his small age.
  • Creates good motivation for reading.
  • Emphasizes humor in books with intonation.
  • Introduces new genres that students may not see differently.
  • Introduces new terminology or complex names or words..
  • Provides a basis for reading aloud.
  • Provides a bridge to important discussion topics for parents and children who can listen together while on the road (in the car).
  • Develops the ability to listen to others.

In addition, many audio stories are read by the author or contain comments by the author. This information can be given to children to connect with the author as well as understanding the author's thoughts as they write.

I still prefer to read books for learning, but I have found that audio stories are also good for this purpose and much more. If you're not sure if audio storytelling is for you, here are seven reasons why you should start incorporating audio storytelling into your life.

Preference.

Some people prefer audio over text for learning, and you might be one of them. If you don't like to read, experiment with audio stories and see if it helps you learn.

Better retention of the essence of the story.

I haven't found any conclusive evidence that reading is better than listening (I know that reading is an inefficient way of processing information), but I do know that if you combine the two, you'll only get the best of both. Audio stories perfectly complement previous knowledge to consolidate information.

If you have read the book before and then listened to the audiobook version, you will retain and consolidate much more information.

For example, I read Nikolai Nosov's children's story "Merry Family" several times, but I remembered some details of the story when I finished listening to the audio version of the story. I noticed this with other stories the same story.

Accelerated learning.

One of the main advantages of audiobooks is that you can change the speed of the information you listen to. Some listen to stories at 1.5x or 2x without affecting their comprehension of the text. If you want to get a lot of information, this is a great way.

Saves time

As much as we encourage multitasking, it can sometimes be useful and effective. Audio stories are great for this. You can listen while you clean the house, fold your clothes, go to school, or anything else that doesn't require much attention.

This is especially effective when you are driving to work. On the way to work I have a lot of multifaceted stories.

Correct perception.

Some stories are better listened to than read. Why? Sometimes we read stories because we were asked to read them at school. The goal is to read, not to understand. When you listen to a story that is read by a professional reader, who correctly emphasizes, correctly highlights important passages, conveys the atmosphere of what is happening, with voice intonation.

From time to time they ask difficult stories, it is sometimes boring to read them. Sometimes it's hard to get through a dry section of a story, but if you try to listen to it, you'll find it interesting. If you ever find yourself in a situation where you know the content of a book is great but it's hard to read, pick up the audio version of the story and listen with pleasure.

Conveniently

The audio stories are really handy. You can download them on your phone, iPod, computer and listen in your car. This makes the content accessible and you can easily pick up where you left off last time.

Audio stories develop fantasy and imagination, because it is impossible, listening to a unique work, not to imagine yourself in the thick of events and adventures described by the author!

“Chuk and Gek” by Gaidar, stories by N. Nosov, V. Oseeva and other children's authors are written in a simple understandable language, therefore they are perfectly perceived by ear and form a good literary taste.

Unfortunately, mom or dad does not always have the opportunity to read a book to their children, especially if inquisitive kids love this activity very much and often ask for reading, because no one has canceled work and household chores!

Now, thanks to modern technology, this issue is solved very simply - all audiobooks can be listened to online for free in good quality.

One click of the mouse - and a cozy children's room is filled with the text of an interesting story!

In this section, there will certainly be stories that will interest your child and develop his love for quality literature.
