Free Audio Stories for Kids

Lis­ten­ing to audio­books before bed­time is nightly rit­ual that my chil­dren really enjoy (Ann Twigg is prac­ti­cally a mem­ber of the fam­ily). Though obvi­ously not a replace­ment for tra­di­tional read­ing, it’s a great sup­ple­men­tal tool for build­ing lis­ten­ing skills, vocab­u­lary and atten­tion span.

I recently dis­cov­ered Kid­die Records Weekly, which offers free audio stream­ing of clas­sic children’s records from the 1940s and 1950s. I haven’t got­ten a chance to put it into the rota­tion yet, but sim­ply brows­ing the amaz­ing col­lec­tion of cover art has been a real treat!
