An audiobook (talking book) is a book or other recording of the script that reads out loud. According to the audio Publishers Association, audiobooks help shape and improve necessary literary skills, fluency, language, articulation, phonemic awareness, and knowledge—skills essential to boost reading ability. Audiobooks are also the favorite when you don't have time to read an entire book. There are many reasons why audiobooks are the first choice for book lovers, because of their convenience and ability to elicit powerful emotions. Audiobooks also benefit students by making them more interested in books and gaining exposure to new words, ultimately refining memory, comprehension, vocabulary, and critical thinking.
