There are dozens of websites that provide free audiobooks and digital books. These sites don’t require that you “prove” your child has a reading issue, but the selection is usually limited to older classic books. Here are a few helpful sites.
- Storynory offers free audiobooks for young children. Titles include fairy tales like Little Red Riding Hood and classics like Alice in Wonderland. Each audiobook includes the digital text of the book.
- Lit2Go provides free audiobook versions of books that are no longer protected by copyright laws. (Other sites, like LibriVox, provide a similar service.) Lit2Go offers downloadable PDFs of books so your child can read along as she listens to classics like The Call of the Wild. The site also categorizes books by reading level.
- Project Gutenberg is another option. You won’t find any recent bestsellers there. But you will find more than 50,000 free classic books in digital format. The majority are digital books that can be read with text-to-speech. To have them read aloud, your child must first download the free digital book to a computer or mobile device. Then she can use text-to-speech technology to have the book read aloud. (One option is to download books directly from Project Gutenberg to the Voice Dream Reader app.)
- Reading Rockets has a great article on other options to get books.
