Digital Audiobooks
By:"Iben Have","Birgitte Stougaard Pedersen"
Published on 2015-08-11 by Routledge
Audiobooks are rapidly gaining popularity with widely accessible digital downloading and streaming services. This book engages with the digital form of audiobooks, framing audiobook listening as both a remediation of literature and an everyday activity that creates new reading experiences that can be compared to listening to music or the radio. Have and Stougaard Pedersen challenge the historical notion that audiobook listening is a compensatory activity or a second-rate reading experience, while seeking to establish a dialogue between sound studies and media studies, comparative literature, aesthetics, and sociology.

If you’re a self-published author looking to maximize income opportunities for your books, and looking for ways to separate yourself from the cut-throat ebook competition, converting your books to audiobooks is an obvious next step. Audiobooks are on a fast-track growth path, piggybacking on the rise of smartphones. Most major publishers are now producing audio versions of their top selling books. You can do the same.

Or you can explore the possibilities of hiring a professional narrator with no upfront fee, and splitting the royalties on a 50/50 basis. This book gets straight to the point, explaining exactly what you need to do, and what your options are in creating an audiobook, without including all the usual get-rich-quick fluff. Book Topics: Why right now is the best time to get into the audiobook market. How to publish your audiobook on the Audiobook Creation Exchange. How narrators are paid and the factors that determine audiobook success. How audiobooks are sold on the major audiobook sites like Audible and iTunes. How to set up your own home audiobook recording studio. How to use the free software program, Audacity, to produce audiobooks. How to prepare your manuscript for recording. And much more!

The Benefit of Utilizing Audiobooks with Students who are Struggling Readers
By:
Published on 2008 by ProQuest
Many students start school unprepared to read and learn. They struggle with reading semantics and comprehension. The study examined the benefit of utilizing audiobooks to assist struggling readers. The research problem addressed in this study was the effect of audiobooks on reading comprehension. The study was guided by the research question: Is there a significant increase in reading comprehension scores for students who listen to audiobooks than for students who do not? The study began by randomly dividing 100 students in Grades 2 and 5 into 2 groups. All students took a STAR pretest to determine their beginning reading levels. The students in Group A (control) read written books and took a comprehension test over each book. The students in Group B (experimental) audio read the same books and took the same comprehension tests as those by Group A. Following treatment, all students took a posttest to determine if reading comprehension had improved. Analysis by the factorial repeated measures ANOVA reported no significant increase in reading comprehension scores for students who listened to audiobooks compared to students who did not. The analysis showed that the Grade 2 students who listened to audiobooks made greater gains than the Grade 5 students who also listened to audiobooks. The findings may inspire reading specialists and school administrators to advocate for professional development in helping teachers gain knowledge or develop new reading instruction techniques that help students improve their reading comprehension levels. Audiobooks can motivate students while improving their reading skills. The findings support the need for social justice and change by providing a way to meet contemporary educational challenges.

By:
Published on 2007 by ProQuest
Audio-assisted reading has been used as an effective instructional intervention for students with learning disabilities (Carbo, 1978; Gilbert, Williams, & McLaughlin, 1996) and with struggling readers (Chomsky, 1976; Hollingsworth, 1978; Hoskisson & Krohm, 1974; Koskinen, Blum, Bisson, Phillips, Creamer, & Baker, 2000; Rasinski, 1990).

Excerpt: World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War is a 2006 post-apocalyptic horror novel by Max Brooks. It is a follow-up to his 2003 book The Zombie Survival Guide. Rather than a grand overview or narrative, World War Z is a collection of individual accounts in the form of first-person anecdote. Brooks plays the role of an agent of the United Nations Postwar Commission who published the report a decade after the Zombie War. The United Nations left out much of his work from the official report, choosing to focus on facts and figures from the war rather than the individual stories that form the bulk of Brooks' novel. The interviews chart a decade-long war against zombies from the view point of many different people of various nationalities. The personal accounts also describe the changing religious, geo-political, and environmental aftermath of the Zombie War. World War Z was inspired by The Good War, an oral history ...
