Long before they start chattering away, they&#8217;re learning by listening to how others talk. The same is true of learning to read. The more kids hear words out loud, the more prepared they&#8217;ll be, and what better way to get them fired up about books than by introducing them to audio versions of their favorite stories?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For a 2-year old (and 3-year old and 4-year old), there is nothing like snuggling up with a parent or caregiver for a read-aloud from a cute picture book. But the next best thing? Audiobooks. Making audiobooks part of your toddler\u2019s routine can plant the seeds for a love of books while encouraging independent reading.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"how-to-use-audiobooks\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to Use Audiobooks<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Incorporating audiobooks into your toddler\u2019s day is simple! There are many times during the day when you can pull out the iPad or other device of choice and queue up some audio stories. Here are few examples:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Going on a road trip? Or just running some errands? Car rides are a great time to turn on an audiobook because the kiddos are already sitting in one place with minimal distractions.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Audiobooks make a calming addition to quiet time or settling down ahead of a nap.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Bedtime! Listening to stories before bed promotes early literacy while helping your child wind down.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"how-to-pick-the-right-books\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to Pick the Right Books<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Choose stories that match their age and interest level. It could be audio versions of picture books they already have so they can flip the pages as they listen. Don&#8217;t shy away from audiobooks that are a little above their level, though. Picking above-level audiobooks is an effective way to build vocab and open up more advanced book options that otherwise wouldn&#8217;t be accessible. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"where-to-find-audiobooks\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Where to Find Audiobooks<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are several platforms that provide audiobooks for 2-4-year olds.
