Audible Stories | Audible.comFree stories for kids of all ages. Audible Stories is a free website where kids of all ages can listen to hundreds of Audible audio titles across six different languages—English, Spanish, French, German, Italian and Japanese—for free, so they can keep learning, dreaming and just being kids.

Encourage your students to listen to audio books, free during the period of the Coronavirus pandemic. There are stories here for all levels. You can use them for spoken reception activities in the classroom and out, or suggest that your pupils listen to them in their own time, for their own pleasure. Enjoy!

Here are books that can be read with the words on screen. To find a title not listed here, just type 'read aloud' and your title into youtube. Some books appear as audiobooks only, but the following books (and many others) appear with the words or pages on screen. Enjoy reading!!
