Reading helps improve spelling, grammar and an expansion of vocabulary. Audio books are fine if you simply want to absorb the content, but they don't promote phonetic learning.

Snicker all you like - but in the early seventies my uncle handed down his entire series of old Hardy Boy books to me. I still credit them for providing a good grasp of spelling and vocabulary.

In turn, I handed the books down to my nephew who is still working his way through them.
