Introducing: Juvenile Read-Alongs

Submitted by Alexa Martin and Meredith Causey

Just like Easy Read-Alongs, Juvenile Read-Alongs have an audiobook built right inside. 

Kids can listen and read along to their favorite stories without needing a screen. The narrator helps kids to decode new words and grow as independent readers. You can find popular series like Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Magic Tree House, and The Wild Robot, and even some graphic novels. 

Plus, you can plug in headphones, making them perfect for road trips. You don't even need Wi-Fi or another device! They are a great alternative to tablets and last for about 19 hours before they need recharging. Just plug in any micro USB cable for 3.5 hours to fully charge them.

Juvenile Read-Alongs also have a "Wonder Mode." After you finish the story, switch it on to answer fun questions!

Playaway is the vendor that supplies these new Juvenile Read-Alongs, and their product name is Wonderbooks. We also ordered Easy Read-Alongs from Playaway, so please do not refer to the collections as "Vox books." 

We order "Vox books" from Library Ideas. Please refer to these items as Read-Alongs, regardless of vendor or product version.

The Juvenile Read-Alongs have a different player layout. The player is located on the bottom corner of the front cover.
