The Best Free Audiobooks on Audible

Did you know that there are free audiobooks on available Audible? All you need is an Amazon account. Here’s a list of some of the best!

We LOVE using audiobooks in our homeschool and one of the best things I’ve come across are FREE audiobooks on Audible! Although I don’t think audio should ever replace the reading of books, I’ve written here about why I think using audio is so beneficial. It can really nurture a love for reading and stories, as well as expose your children to stories that may be above their reading level! Our favorite thing to do is listen to audiobooks during road trips or while driving around town.

Additionally, they can be really helpful while homeschooling multiple children. I can assign an audiobook to one of my kids while helping another with math or for an afternoon quiet time. It certainly helps me simplify!

We love using Audible for our audiobooks, but I always look for the free options first so we can save our credits. What really makes these free audio versions so great is that many of them have top-notch narrators! If I find an audiobook with a notable narrator, then you can bet we’re going to listen! Great narrators are the best storytellers and can capture your imagination in unexpected ways.

Many of these listed here are classics that are great for middle school or high school ages. Or maybe you’re in the market for a classic, mama! There are some real gems in this list (including a great selection of Charles Dickens!).
