The real value here isn't just in the printed word; it's in the audiobook. By letting your kid listen while they build LEGOs or draw, you're feeding those language comprehension strands of literacy. It’s a low-friction way to reinforce the values you’re already trying to teach, without it feeling like a Sunday school lesson.
