Have you listened to a good audio book lately? Rather than read a novel, why not listen to one? You can listen to an audio book whilst commuting to and from work, jogging, or participating in any other activity in which you have brain capacity to spare and would like to make better use of your time.
Audio books can be used to educate and entertain, just like their written counterparts. They are available in more or less every topic including Arts & Drama, Biography, Business, Crime & Thrillers, Fiction, Foreign Language Study, Health & Recreation, History, Humor, Juvenile, Radio Shows, Religion & Spiritual, Self Help, and TV & Film. Audio books are often much cheaper than printed books, particularly if they are purchased as digital downloads.
So, what is an audio book? Well, it’s just an audio file (MP3 or WAV) that is stored and played on devices such as MP3 players, iPods, computers, and even cell phones (mobile phones). You can also burn the file to audio CD and then play it on your home Hi-Fi or pop it into your in-car audio system and, of course, your computer’s CD drive.
How do audio books differ from other MP3 or WAV files, then? In essence, they are no different to song files or podcasts downloaded in these formats. Instead of a song playing, a narrator reads a book.
How can you be sure that audio books are for you? You will only find out by giving it a try. And just like there is no guarantee that you will like the paperback novel bought from your local bookstore, there is no guarantee that you will like the audio version either. But before you spend your hard earned money on an audio book, do some research and find merchants who allow you to listen to (long) samples of your chosen audio book title and offer a money back guarantee. Yes, these merchants do exist! There is nothing more frustrating than to purchase an audio book only to find out that the narrator’s voice is monotonous, or the story is told without passion.
When purchasing audio books via the Internet, you might purchase them as physical products, e.g. a CD shipped to your home or office. However, it is more convenient to purchase an audio book as a digital download, if you have a fast Internet connection such as broadband. You get your audio book delivered ‘immediately’ and avoid problems like the product being lost in the post. As a rough guide, expect 1 hour’s high quality content to result in a file size of around 60MB. This should only take a few minutes to download on a moderately fast broadband connection; if you only have dial-up Internet access, it will take considerably longer.
So, the next time you’re taking a walk in the park, are on a long and boring train journey to work, exercising, cooking, gardening, or just chilling out, why not listen to a good novel? Remember how you enjoyed your teacher reading you a story at school, or your parents reading you a bedtime story? I am sure you do.

An excerpt from David Copperfield by Charles Dickens:
I discovered afterwards that Miss Lavinia was an authority in affairs of the heart, by reason of there having anciently existed a certain Mr. Pidger, who played short whist, and was supposed to have been enamoured of her. My private opinion is, that this was entirely a gratuitous assumption, and that Pidger was altogether innocent of any such sentiments - to which he had never given any sort of expression that I could ever hear of. Both Miss Lavinia and Miss Clarissa had a superstition, however, that he would have declared his passion, if he had not been cut short in his youth (at about sixty) by over-drinking his constitution, and over-doing an attempt to set it right again by swilling Bath water. They had a lurking suspicion even, that he died of secret love; though I must say there was a picture of him in the house with a damask nose, which concealment did not appear to have ever preyed upon.
Wonderful!

I came across this product on “Lazy Kids Way to Grade ‘A’” when I was searching for a way to help my students perform well or better in their schools’ examinations. I found that this ebook is very useful because it not only tells you about the ‘dos’ and ‘donts’ of the adult caregivers when teaching a child who is thought to be lazy and thus cannot perform to potential, it even talks about how to improve the brain power of your child! This article looks at the benefits and problems the product pose to the caregivers when teaching a so-called ‘lazy child’.
1. Easy to understand and informative
There are no fluff materials in this ebook and the language is written in a easy to understand, everyday language. This is an advantage because if the product requires the reader to refer to the dictionary after every few words, it will lose its appeal. In this ebook, the writer backed up each key concept with lots of specific examples, which makes it easier for the parents to comprehend and also to feel connected with the author. The ebook even has a list of resources that parents can look up for extra tips.
2. Specific examples supported by experts’ findings
What interest me most in this product is that the author even mentioned the kind of brain food necessary for the development of the children’s brains so that they will never be called ‘lazy’ or ’stupid kids’ again. These brain food supplements are also supported by the sources of the scientific findings whereby experts explained the effectiveness of the essential brain food. The writer even goes on to list the places where this brain supplements can be found and how parents can incorporate them into their children’s diet for best results, as well as to make it more receptive to the children. I find this very useful because it helps me to feel more confident, as a parent, in providing the best food and nutrients for my own children’s mental development. As a parent, I fully understand how parents feel in wanting to provide the best for their children.
3. Discussion about the importance of parental involvement in their child’s schoolwork
The author stresses on the importance of understanding the learning style of their children. This is necessary because parents can support their children by re-teaching the difficult concepts at home when they are attempting their homework and facing problems in answering. By using methods catering to the child’s learning style, the child will feel less stressed out and will find learning a joy instead of it being a chore. The author gives specific examples on how the understanding of the child’s learning style will affect his / her performance and how best to make use of this understanding to help your child learn so as to perform at his / her best potential. There are even examples of activities provided of the teaching of respective subjects and learning styles.
As parents, being involved in your child’s learning, and thereby schoolwork is an important activity because it helps you to bond stronger with your child. Your child needs your support and to know that he / she has someone to turn to for help when problems arise and you need to know how to read the cues from your child. You also need to know what to do when your child feels frustrated or stressed out with schoolwork and how to prevent demoralizing him / her with unkind comments that might be unintentional but the damage done could be detrimental.
4. Ten golden rules to follow
In this ebook, the author writes about the golden rules that parents should remember when they are teaching their children at home. These rules are important to help your child to perform to his / her best potential. The rules serve as a guide for me when I am teaching my students so as to cater to their respective needs. These golden rules are also very easy to follow tips that will help to boost the child’s self-confidence.
5. Parents’ commitment
In my opinion, the only down side to this product is that it can take up a lot of your time, as a parent. The activities that we can carry out with our children, such as goal setting, hands-on experiences, reviewing and setting up of the rewards systems, can be rather time consuming. However, I strongly feel that any parents who are genuinely interested in nurturing their children’s development, happiness and future, will not mind spending the time to carry it out. In fact, it will also be very effective in strengthening the bond between the parents and their child. It will really be well-worth the time.
As you can probably tell after reading this whole article, there are pros and cons to this product, “Lazy Kids Way to Grade ‘A’”. I hope that this review of the ebook will be useful to you when you are searching for an effective method to use in nurturing the potentials of your child.
