Three ways to use it
Listen first, book closed
Play a story once without reading. Aim for the gist: who, where, what happens.
Read along
Play it again while you follow the text. You will connect the sounds you hear to the words you see.
Shadow a paragraph
Pause after each sentence and repeat it out loud, copying the rhythm and the intonation.
Help
Trouble with the files?
I’m on a phone and the ZIP won’t open
Use the Google Drive button instead: you can play every track in your browser, or save one file at a time. If you do download the ZIP on an iPhone, open the Files app, go to Downloads and tap the ZIP once to unzip it. On Android, open the Files app and tap the ZIP.
Where did my download go?
- Computer: your Downloads folder. Double-click the ZIP to unzip it.
- iPhone and iPad: Files app → Downloads.
- Android: Files app → Downloads.
