I have recently learned that audio books are very helpful for people like me. My brain processes lecture material better than written content. Science backs this as well

My dad was in the military when I was a kid in Naples Italy. I would listen to the armed forces radio network at night before bed. I let my imagination run wild as I listened to the actors using props to make various sounds. It was magical to me.

The Hobbit books opened my eyes to the mystical world Tolkien painted. It was wonderful as well. Reading retention with fiction was less of a problem.

Today I read to my grand kids every chance I have.

Helping kids and some adults like me read books at public libraries has been a joy
