Looking for a resource that will support your pupils?

The classroom can sometimes be a frustrating environment for pupils that cannot hold a book or read print. Difficulty with reading can affect language and communication skills, increase anxiety and depression, and lead to feelings of isolation in class. 

Audiobooks are an exciting, inclusive way to learn, and a membership to Listening Books will help you to support your pupils to improve their reading ability, and build a love of literature and books. Our audiobook service can be used as a resource in special, primary and secondary schools, or for homeschooling. 

We've included some more information about the benefits of using audiobooks and how you can use Listening Books in school below.
