I just added the The Big Myth to KB…Konnected Kids. It features creation myths from a variety of cultures in an engaging “video read along” format.  Students are encouraged to create their own myth which may be selected to be published on The Big Myth. Simple guidelines are as follows: Create an imaginary country- how did the world begin? It can be written for any time period- even the future. The Big Myth also includes a teacher’s guide. Very nice collection of myths. Screenshots You may also like Myths and Legends (tops!!!) Dust Echoes The Heroes Journey My Hero

Read to Me is an engaging site where kids can listen to books told by celebrities.  #elemchat #spedchat #hearingimpaired #ebooks #audiobooks #videobooks The celebrities are all Las Vegas performers and are pretty entertaining. Kids may recognize some of them but probably not all. Printable PDFs of lesson plans are available as well as the author’s site, celebrity reader’s site and publisher site. Stories can be viewed full screen. I watched a couple and they were very good, something I think students will enjoy. The Read to Me videos took a bit of time to load so I would suggest loading them before showing to students. Notice in the screenshot above that they even have one in Spanish. Would be great if they added a few more like this. They also had a few for students who are hearing impaired, which uses American Sign Language. Added to  Awesome Audio Stories and more! Great educational, student-friendly websites for listening centers, quite times, story time, etc. Visit my new site KB…Konnected Kids. 100+ free educational enrichment sites. Just launched 6-23-12. You may also like… Children’s eBook Libraries Kids AOL Jr. Stories Class Tools Storyline Online

New addition to my Awesome Audio Stories binder. Story Cove is a nice site for listening to online folktales from Africa, Asia, the Americas, Europe and Australia. The folktales can be viewed either as a movie or as just an audio story. There is no text unless you buy their books which they sell online. Nonetheless the stories can be used as a listening activity.  The audio for this site is very engaging and animated. Another plus to Story Cove is that they have a great collection of lesson plans and printables to go along with the stories that are also free. “Lesson Plans extend the story elements to explore the original story with projects and activities that require interaction with adults or other members of the family away from the PC.” Sign-up is required, free, and easy.

Hands down EFL Classroom 2.0 has the best compilation of “Stories for the Classroom” that I have ever seen. This was a very pleasant discovery today. The stories contain audio, text, and pictures. Some are even animated. They play full screen and are very student friendly. All of them would be great for reading/listening centers. Kids will love these stories and want to read them over and over again.  The stories are categorized by level as well as some genres.
