SEL:  #1 Self-Awareness  

SEL:  #4 Self-Management                 

Digital Learner:  #5 Knowledge Constructor

I’m amazed when I ask high school students how they learn: visually? Through audio, like my husband the drummer? Tactile methods like playing the piano or keyboards? Logical mathematics? Writing? Verbal or Linguistic? Nature or out of doors?  

Audio learning offers many benefits which are: it can increase reading accuracy by 56%, comprehension by 76%, and creates a multisensory experience. It also improves phonics awareness.

Audio learning creates a bridge between reading and achievement. Students can choose to listen above their current reading level and it raises interest in new topics allowing learners wider genre choices. It teaches pronunciation, helps in language acquisition, is good for ESL (English as a Second Language) learners, helps with decoding, (sounding out words), expands vocabulary, and improves fluency by hearing new words.

The same cognitive and emotional areas of the brain are engaged regardless, if reading by sight or by ear. Accommodation for deaf students can be offered with a teacher signing on YouTube while a digital page-turner flips pages.
