Publisher's Description of Exploring Creation with General Science MP3 Audio CD 3rd Edition

Auditory learners take in written information better if they hear it as they read along. Audio helps them stay focused because their brains are able to give more attention to the text. And because rereading and pauses are greatly reduced, they cover more ground in less time which is encouraging for them and gives them more confidence as scholars.
