[blparent] My fears seem to be unfounded

[Leanne Merren]

Hi Eileen,
That's great!  My kids and I listen to audio books together all the time and 
both of them are very interested in reading independently as well.  I 
haven't seen anything from either of them that would indicate that listening 
to books would make them not want to read.  There's no favoring one over the 
other, it just depends on the situation.  They will listen if they are doing 
other things like cleaning their room, or they will read if they are getting 
ready for bed and want to wind down.  I think both experiences are great.  I 
love hearing them mimick the voice inflection of the narrators.
Take care,
Leanne
