Which term describes books presented via tape or digital recording for the student to listen rather than read?

• A. Audiobooks
• B. Read Aloud
• C. Morning Message
• D. Shared Reading

Answer: (A)

Accessing text through listening is the idea here. Audiobooks are books that are presented via tape or digital recording, so the student listens instead of reading the text. This format helps learners who benefit from auditory input—like students with reading difficulties, visual impairments, or language learners—by providing the same content in a different modality and supporting listening comprehension and fluency. Read Aloud refers to the teacher reading the text aloud to the class, which is live rather than a recorded version. Morning Message is a daily literacy activity posted by the teacher, and Shared Reading is a collaborative, guided reading activity with the whole class using an enlarged text. So the term that matches the description is audiobooks.
