Best Podcasts for Kids Who Love Reading

Podcasts are a great way to expand kids' literary world while also helping them build their reading skills. In fact, research has shown that audio content can help improve reading comprehension in children of all ages. Not to mention, podcasts are a great activity for kids who love a good story but may not have a book handy or are still building up their confidence as young readers.

We've put together this list of podcasts for readers—and soon-to-be readers—of all ages, skill levels, and interests. You'll find fun storytelling podcasts with familiar tales for kiddos still working on stringing sentences together. Plus literacy podcasts to help support tweens and teens venturing into more challenging chapter books and novels. And book lovers will find shows that dive deeper into their favorite page-turners through interviews with authors and book-club discussions with kids their age.

These podcasts are sure to make reading fun and engaging for everyone. And if you just can't get enough, make sure to check out our list of Podcasts Inspired by (and That Inspired) Books.
