Children's Audiobooks

Inclusive Audiobooks That Bring Stories to Life

Explore our collection of children's audiobooks created to make inclusive storytelling enjoyable and accessible for a wide range of children.

At Inclusive Education NZ, our audiobooks feature stories about friendship, imagination, disability, difference, kindness and belonging. Children can meet disabled and non-disabled characters who learn, explore and experience adventures together.

Listening to stories can be particularly valuable for children who prefer audio learning, find reading difficult, benefit from hearing language spoken aloud or simply enjoy relaxing and listening as a story unfolds.

Every child experiences stories differently. Offering stories in more than one format helps more children take part.

Accessible Storytelling for Different Ways of Learning

Listen and Imagine

Audiobooks allow children to focus on the characters, language and imagination of a story without needing to concentrate on printed text.

Support Different Learners

Audio storytelling can support children with different reading abilities, communication needs and learning preferences while making stories easier to enjoy together.

Inclusive Characters and Adventures

Our stories help normalise disability by including a wider variety of characters and experiences within enjoyable children's adventures and everyday situations.

Children's Audiobooks for Schools, Families and Learning

Our inclusive audiobooks can be used for classroom listening, story time, literacy activities, quiet-time routines and discussions about disability, friendship and belonging.

Teachers can use the stories alongside reading activities or allow children to listen independently or as a group. Audiobooks can also provide another way for children to participate when printed reading is difficult or tiring.

At home, families can listen together during quiet time, travel or everyday routines, giving children another enjoyable way to experience inclusive stories and characters.
