IRA Newsletter Project: Effective Literacy Website #7

             Storyline Online (https://www.storylineonline.net/) is a collection of video recordings of children's stories being read by notable actors and actresses. Each video has a short introduction by the actor before transitioning to the reading of the story. Students can follow along with the pictures and words of each story. Along with each video you will find a set of online and offline activities to support your use of each story in your classroom.
Storyline Online could be a nice resource for elementary school classrooms. The videos are short and easy to follow. If you're looking for some nice reading activities for students to do at home with their parents, Storyline Online could be good for that too.
Reading aloud to children has been shown to improve reading, writing and communication skills, logical thinking and concentration, and general academic skill, as well as inspire a lifelong love of reading. Storyline Online is available 24 hours a day for children, parents, caregivers and educators worldwide. Each book includes supplemental curriculum developed by elementary educators, aiming to strengthen comprehension and verbal and written skills for English-language learners. 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.
