I am so glad to hear! We use a CD player. Over a years I have accumulated a nice collection of some of our favorites. I’ve also used the library audio. On occasion I have used Kindle for books, especially books that are hard to find, out of print, or expensive, but for audio, so far, we have used mostly CD’s.

These posts are encouraging me SO much! Thank you for sharing. Do they use CD players to listen to audio books or Kindle or? Thank you!

We have bought a small collection of audio books on Amazon, but we take advantage of inter-library loan as well! I purchased all of the audio Little House series read by Cherry Jones. She is excellent! Also, we have most of the audio Rush Revere series because they are chock full of American history. We are not audible members yet, but I’m considering it because of the fantastic selection of audio books.
As far as devices, we try to be strategic about screens with the kids during the school day, for the simple reason that they can become a HUGE distraction. I ask them to finish all their (paper and pencil) school work first and save their online school work for last. They use laptops. We use Veritas self-paced history courses (love them!), Rosetta Stone for foreign language, and seterra.com for geography. Otherwise, most of their school work is offline.
