Audible provides free content for all ages amidst the global lockdown
T
he world we're currently living in is unprecedented. Children, specifically, are finding it challenging to stay at home, away from their teachers and friends, unsure of what their future looks like.
With most schools being shut due to the coronavirus pandemic, Audible has launched a service that will help us keep children and teens occupied through this self-quarantine phase.
At a time like this, stories will help in keeping them busy and engaged. Audible Stories is a completely free web-based service where a variety of global titles, hand-picked by our editors, will be available to all for streaming. The majority of titles are appropriate for listening with children, though there are some titles for adults to enjoy as well.
This free service is available to anyone worldwide. Simply visit stories.audible.com, choose a title, and start listening! You don't have to be a member or sign up - it's a completely anonymous experience. The best part? They intend to keep offering Audible Stories to people around the world for as long as the current situation continues. There is no specific time frame in mind for suspending the service.
They have some fantastic books from Indian writers and publishers. These are Chanakya In the Classroom Life Lessons for Students, Karadi Tales. Some international favorites are Aladdin, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Anne of Green Gables, The Whistling Schoolboy and Other Stories by Ruskin Bond, Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
