A Story A Day

Need a learning from home break? Everyday at 2pm join us for story time from Storyline Online featuring celebrated actors reading children’s books.

Children hearing books read aloud stimulates their imagination and expands their understanding of the world. It helps them develop language and listening skills and prepares them to understand the written word.

Today's story is 'The Elves and the Shoemaker', read by Chrissy Metz.

Enjoy.

Did you know you shouldn't stop reading to your child once they learn to read themselves? While independent reading is certainly important, reading out loud to kids as old as age 14 still holds benefits, both academically and emotionally.

At this age, it's about your older child's reading fluency and comprehension. It may be helpful for them to follow along in the book as you read. And consider asking questions about the text to gauge their comprehension.

Tuesday's book is 'Sylvester and the Magic Pebble', written and illustrated by William Steig and read by Reid Scott.
