Switching the Read Aloud feature on and off for individual pupils

Our British Accent article Read Aloud offers numerous benefits for learners and it can be customised for each pupil in your class.

Our British Accent article Read Aloud offers numerous benefits for learners, including:

1. Improves vocabulary and language skills. When children hear new words in context, they are more likely to remember them. Listening to the articles also exposes pupils to different sentence structures and grammar, which helps them develop their own language skills.
2. Boosts comprehension skills. Listening to Rockerbox News articles helps children learn how to follow a non-fiction story. It also helps them learn how to make inferences and draw conclusions.
3. Increases focus and concentration. Listening to a story requires children to focus and concentrate. This can help them develop these skills in other areas of their lives, such as schoolwork and play.
