Listening to Guji Guji

In attempts to help Isabelle better her listening skills, I've chosen to use recordings of other people reading books. My original plan was to use audio books from the library, but there are several neat sites online that I can use also. These sites are great because I will not be creating late fines! lol!! Sheesh...I have such a terrible time getting books back to the library...but I digress...

Yesterday, I found BookPALS Storyline where we listened to Guji Guji by Chih-Yuan Chen. BookPALS books are read by actors, for example, Guji Guji was read by Robert Guillaume. The book was brought to action not only by Robert's reading, but also by the animation of the illustrations. There are also activities to go along with each book. I appreciated the comprehension and what I call the "thinking deeper" questions. Isabelle found quite a few activities listed that she would like to do also! We are returning today to read A Bad Case of Stripes by David Shannon and read by Samwise Gamgee (Sean Astin).

Here are some more story sites. I've not looked through all of these sites thoroughly so keep that in mind! I'd love to add links to this list so if you know of a near story site, please let me know...
