Abstract
Research involving over 110,000 children and young people in the UK has revealed that many listened to audiobooks in 2026, saying listening to audiobooks feels like reading and that they listen to audiobooks to give their eyes a break from screens. Here, we share the reasons why 8-18 year olds say they turn to this format to support their learning.
