In a supportive gesture to bored kids and parents struggling to homeschool, free audiobooks are now being given away by Audible on their stories page.
Offering over 300 free audiobooks in six languages, parents are sure to find a wealth of homeschool material available throughout the stories website. Of course, it's not just homeschool books that are available here - there's plenty to entertain also. All this is completely free, and Audible has stated: "For as long as schools are closed, we're open" - which means everything should be available for the foreseeable future.
Categories that are currently free include littlest listeners, elementary, tween, teen, and literary classics - and include such titles as Winnie-the-Pooh, Beatrix Potter, and Alice in Wonderland. The six languages that are currently available are - English, Spanish, French, German, Italian and Chinese Mandarin.
To check out what's on offer simply head to the Audible stories page - sign up isn't currently needed to access these free audiobooks, and you can listen on whatever device you please - laptops, mobiles, and tablets are all catered for.
Other great free Amazon offers
Audible is currently offering a 30-day free trial over on their official site. This is perfect if the free kid's stories have piqued your interest but you'd prefer the adult genres.
If you're an avid audiobook listener but more into the adult genres then you can still capitalise on Audibles' excellent 30-day free trial - a great proposition if you're cooped up inside and want to indulge your imagination for free.
Audible was rated our best audiobook site in 2020, where we praised its vast selection of titles, excellent multi-device support and wonderful array of exclusive titles.

There's something for everyone on Audible, whether you're brushing up on your history, learning how to bake the perfect cake, or catching up on your favorite wizard's adventures.
If you're not into audiobooks, then Amazon has some other great free offers across the whole Prime range.

Maybe you're more into blasting out some tunes as part of the lockdown catharsis, head on over to Amazon Music Unlimited and get unrestricted, ad-free tunes free for three months.
