NyGirl LOVES Storynory. My daughter sat at the computer for an hour, completely mesmerized by the audio stories available at this site.
This website is awesome on too many levels.
First of all, this site is a collection of stories for young children which vary in genre, from classics to fairytales. There are educational stories as well, bible stories, stories about the saints, and even original stories. If you have much younger children, they might enjoy stories from the "junior" category.
Click on the story you like, then click on the play button to listen to it. The storyteller has a wonderfully soothing reading voice, which would suit children really well.
The best part about this site (besides it being FREE) is that these are quick and easy access to audio stories like the classics (Alice in Wonderland, Dickens stories, poetry, and Rudyard Kipling stories) that I have been meaning to introduce to my daughter but just never had time to sit down and do those "read-alouds". Even if they aren't available at my local library in CD or mp3 download, I have them available right here at this site.
Not to mention, my two year old enjoys The Three Little Pigs and Little Red Riding Hood.
I always say, if you can't get a child to read, you can at least get him to listen to a story.
Storynory is a wonderful online audio resource for enchanting our kids with reading. And for our kids who are already reading, this is a great online resource to help introduce them to classic literature they may have never chosen to read on their own. Plus, it builds their imagination.
NyGirl can't wait to hear what will happen next on Alice in Wonderland.
