VOX Readalong

Check out our new VOX Readalong books for kids!

Check out our new Vox Readalong books! VOX Readalong books are the world's first audiobooks that live in print books. They're a great way for young readers to listen to a story while following along in the book. The permanently attached VOX Reader transforms an ordinary print book into an all-in-one read-along. There's no need for computers, tablets, or CDs. Children simply push a button to listen and read. We have these books shelved in our "Favorites" section along the Story Circle. Their call numbers start with "E READALON" and then the author's name. Click here to see all VOX Readalong books we currently have at the library.
