Storyline Online....One of Our Favorite Places To Find Special Virtual Read Alouds Of Amazing Books!

 

I remember when Storyline Online started sharing their special virtual read alouds with all of us. 
I was so excited to find these amazing read alouds and couldn't wait to start sharing them with our students, teachers, and families. 

As shared on the Storyline Online site, 

The SAG-AFTRA Foundation’s two-time Emmy®-nominated and award-winning children’s literacy website, Storyline Online®, streams videos featuring celebrated actors reading children’s books alongside creatively produced illustrations. Readers include Oprah Winfrey, Chris Pine, Rosario Dawson, Viola Davis, Terry Crews, Connie Britton, John Lithgow, Jennifer Garner, Betty White and dozens more.

Reading aloud to children has been shown to improve reading, writing and communication skills, logical thinking and concentration, and general academic aptitude, as well as inspire a lifelong love of reading. Teachers use Storyline Online in their classrooms, and doctors and nurses play Storyline Online in children’s hospitals.

Storyline Online is available 24 hours a day for children, parents, caregivers and educators worldwide. Each book includes supplemental curriculum developed by a credentialed elementary educator, aiming to strengthen comprehension and verbal and written skills for English-language learners.
Today when I popped onto Storyline Online to see the new books they have added, I was so excited to find The Three Little Pigs and the Somewhat Bad Wolf read by actress, Kaia Gerber. She does an awesome job. I know the kids will love this one. 
With each book, there is also a Teachers' Guide that you can download and use. 

Everyone on Storyline Online is free for all teachers, librarians, families, and students. 

Storyline Online is a program of the SAG-AFTRA Foundation. The Foundation is a nonprofit organization that relies entirely on gifts, grants and donations to fund Storyline Online and produce all of its videos.

You can help the SAG-AFTRA Foundation create more Storyline Online videos and new content, so that we can read to millions more children every month. By giving a gift to Storyline Online, you can help advance children’s literacy, and improve children’s lives. Your support makes a world of difference.
