Are audio and TV hurting or helping literacy - 2 views

  •  
    I forgot to add about audio books aren't helping either. I think that for years TV has had an effect on learning ability but reading to me has always been important. I've never owned a audio book in my life, but some people are big on them. I'm old fashioned in regards to picking up a book and reading it will help exercise your brain.

    I loved audio books when I was a child during long car rides, because I love reading, but trying to read in a car would make me sick. I will always choose a book over an audio book because with reading, you can find new words and learn how to use and spell them properly. Honestly, I didn't know audio books were still super popular. Also TV and movies based on books don't help literacy, I think, just because most people are too lazy to pick up a book and if they have the choice to read or watch, they'd rather have all the visuals and storyline there for them, rather than reading and creating an image through their imagination. Using your imagination is ALWAYS more vivid and exciting than a movie. But that's just my opinion.
