AUDIOBOOKS SUPPORT LITERACY AND EASE THE TRANSITION TO A NEW SCHOOL
Starting a new school is a big step for any child. Whether they’re taking their first leap into nursery or primary school, or moving to a new environment, change can feel overwhelming. One simple way to support them through this period is with audiobooks.
Audiobooks aren’t just for entertainment, they’re a powerful tool for developing literacy. Listening builds vocabulary, comprehension, and attention span, even before a child is confident with written words. For reluctant readers, audiobooks can spark a love of stories without the pressure of decoding text.
They also offer emotional support. Stories featuring characters navigating school life, friendships, or big changes help children make sense of their own experiences. A familiar voice telling a reassuring tale can be calming, especially during uncertain times.
For younger children especially, screen-free audiobook players like Voxblock give them independence in choosing stories while keeping things simple and distraction-free. It’s a comforting routine they can control, pop in a story, sit back, and listen, wherever they are.
As you think about which school will support your child’s growth, also consider what helps them feel calm, confident, and connected. A well-told story can make all the difference.
