Read-Along Books
Read-Along and Vox Books
Read-along books combine outstanding picture books and non-fiction titles with audio recordings for an all-in-one read-along. Children simply push a button to listen and read. Our collection currently contains picture books and juvenile non-fiction titles.
No Fuss Technology
These hardcover books come with an embedded audio reader and a jack for users to plug in headphones. The audio reader runs on a battery that can be recharged with the included charger. Users can open the book, press “play,” and follow along with the words in the book.
Narrators are lively and will keep readers engaged. Families can use read-along books to help early or struggling readers learn to pronounce words, hold a book and turn pages, and practice tracking text from left to right.
