Access to Free Audiobooks                                                                                         

SYNC Audiobooks for Teens returns for a 12th season of free audiobook downloads to keep for individuals ages 13 and up! AudioFile Magazine hosts this program to encourage the development of new listeners. Listening to audiobooks has been demonstrated to increase literacy capacity in highly skilled readers as well as those who don’t identify themselves as readers, to provide opportunities to deepen capacity for empathy, and to offer exposure to a wide variety of genres, voices, and expressive styles. 

This year, the SYNC season runs for 14 weeks, from April 29 through August 4, for a total of 28 titles, all available to participants worldwide for free. 

SYNC titles will be delivered via the Sora app, compatible with all types of computers, tablets, and smartphones. Once downloaded during each title’s single week of availability, the audiobook remains the participant’s, with no due date. 

This year’s SYNC title collection includes dramas, autobiographies, fantasies, thrillers, romances, and much more.
