Free Audiobook Resources

Audiobooks can provide a wealth of support for readers of all ages. They allow people to hear fluent reading while listening to what reading should sound like. These are keys to future reading successes.

When listening to audiobooks, children hear the proper pacing and intonations of reading, how punctuation should sound, and how reading should sound. Ideally, they will transfer that knowledge to their own reading, both independent and aloud. Using audiobooks in conjunction with actual hard copies of books allows kids to follow the words on the page with their eyes as they listen to the words being read.
