Good morning readers!
Betty is absolutely correct that there is a difference in listening and reading a book, especially for those learners with learning differences.
I have not read any articles or research on this, but from personal experience and classroom observations and teaching, it is a great help to read materials aloud for most learners. That is not just listening and reading along silently, but actually reading aloud along with whom ever is reading. Everyone learns differently, visually, auditory, tactually, as well as kinaesthetically. If you are just reading for enjoyment, listening to an audio book is excellent. If you are trying to learn from the material being read, it is advisable to have the printed material before you as well as reading along with the audio portion.
just my $.02! Colette

At the moment that we persuade a child, any child, to cross that threshold, that magic threshold into a library, we change their lives forever, for the better. ~~Barack Obama
You see, I don't believe libraries should be drab places where people sit in silence, and that's been the main reason for our policy of employing wild animals as librarians. ~~Monty Python

It would be great to have some kind of neuroscientist step in here and talk about what happens in our brains when we read a story, and what happens in our brains when we listen to a story. It must be quite different.
I am not really invested in the debate "IS LISTENING READING?" We receive stories in many ways. I am curious though about what our brains do with the visual input vs the audio input.
