The Audio Book Experience

                                                The most recent audio book that I selected is “Attack of the Vampire Weenies” by David Lubar. This book is a collection of Twilight Zone-esque stories for children, in which there is rarely a happy ending.  I selected this title because the Weenie series has been a favorite of my fourth graders for many years.  I rarely use audio books, but overall I found the experience to be an acceptable alternative.

                In terms of a tool that I will use, I think that I will seek out more titles for my students to use in class as a read along aid for students that are emergent or struggling readers. As for me, I still prefer the feeling of physically holding a book or a Kindle while I am reading.
