While traditional storytime where I cuddle up with the kids and read books, is still the preferred method of storytime at our house, we have discovered a new way to do storytime. I don’t think online story sites should replace traditional storytelling, but it IS a good novelty and encourages the kids and me to try out different types of books Here are a couple of websites where you can read children’s books
http://www.magickeys.com/books/
http://www.netrover.com/~kingskid/108b.html
http://wiredforbooks.org/kids.htm – For Beatrix Potter Stories
http://www.the-office.com/bedtime-story/indexmain.htm
http://www.meddybemps.com/5.1.html
http://www.candlelightstories.com/DefaultNewMain.asp
http://www.storyplace.org/preschool/preschool.asp
http://www.storylineonline.net/storyline/ – - This site is cool because it reads stories for you.
www.robertmunsch.com - Robert Munsch stories
UPDATED TO ADD: http://www.icdlbooks.org/ - International Children’s Library of Books
Check out http://www.bookbox.com for a variety of beautifully animated stories, many of which are in Hindi. Also, if your kids are learning Hindi and are old enough for Bollywood songs with amazing karaoke-style dynamic subtitling, both in Devanagari and transliteration, have a look at sister-site http://www.desilassi.com. Both are part of PlanetRead, whose main aim is to promote literacy in India through the use of same language subtitling.
I love your blog, by the way!
