read-aloud books
Voiced story volumes
Read-aloud books are children's books designed to be read by an adult to a child rather than read independently.
They typically feature engaging rhythms, repetition, and illustrations that hold young listeners' attention: We do read-aloud books every night before bed.
The genre prioritizes how text sounds spoken aloud, with picture books being the most common format.
