“Kids love listening to stories,” says William Weil, CEO of Tales2Go.  He continues, “What most people do not realize is that listening to audio books and stories is also a proven pathway to getting students excited about and skilled at reading.  Specifically, listening exposes students to vocabulary and builds critical listening, fluency and comprehension skills, at all reading levels.  This is why audio books have been used in classrooms for decades.  What better way to both entertain and educate kids than with a fun and/or scary story for Halloween.”
