Early elementary teachers, have you heard some of your students complain that they have no one at home to read to them? Sad to say I have more times than I could have ever imagined. Storyline Online is a free on-line streaming video program featuring Screen Actor Guild members reading books. Using this program students can see and hear books read directly to them via the computer. Also, they can check out the books in the library so that they can read along with the actors.
One of my favorites is A Bad Case of Stripes by David Shannon. Not only can the books be read to them but each book is accompanied with activities and lessons that they can do by themselves or (hopefully) with parents. It makes a terrific listening center for a classroom too!
