[quote=Anonymous]Books in all form count in my opinion so my count is probably close to 100.  I always have an audio book in progress. I listen when in the car running errands and driving my kids (teens). They actually enjoy the books as well and give me a hard time because I keep listening without them.  I also listen when cooking, cleaning and in the shower. I typically also have 2 hard copy books going. One for me and one with my teens.  I made a deal with our oldest child (now in her 20s) that if she had to read a book for school I would read it as well. I have kept it up and it has made for some great conversations. It has also made it very easy to ensure my kids are reading the books :) One of my kids has ADHD/ASD and reading books at the same time has been a huge help to him staying focused and keeping him on track.  Since I listen to audio books he knew that it was an acceptable way to "read" a book. So when he had a book that seemed intimidating to him for a summer reading assignment we chose to listen to the audio book while working on a puzzle together. He loved the book, we were able to pause the book and talk about characters, setting and themes, then we watched the movie and had a discussion about what was different.  He got 100% on the test.  It was the best way to start off his high school career and Lit is now his favorite subject.  [/quote]
