Audio reading


Audio reading
  • Some students may need or like to use audio books and audio recordings of their lecture materials.
  • Check to see if there are speed and tone variable functions and indexing capacities on the reading device or software you're using. The indexing feature is useful to mark important information. This means that you can go straight to the segments that you need after you've indexed them. Vary the tone and pitch to suit your preferences. You'll also find that you can listen to audio materials at a faster speed and then you can go back and slow things down.
  • If you are using built-in audio devices on your computer software for example, choose a voice tone and pitch that suit you.

Great thing about audio reading, and I use audio books a lot, is that I can listen to them anywhere and it's good to mull over what I'm listening to.
