Welcome back to Reading Cultures!
Today I searched for podcasts that read aloud children's books. I was so excited to come across the podcast called Storynory. Since November 2005, Storynory has been publishing an audio story every week. Their mascot is a frog named Prince Bertie. The storytellers are amazing - they use different voices for different characters. Even though Storynory covers various children's stories, there are many multicultural stories selections such as the Chinese fairytale The Emperor's Dream. Children will have a fun time listening to the audio stories while learning about different cultures.
You can even enjoy these audio stories on the go by downloading the audio file to your computer from their web site and to your Ipod via Itunes. At Itunes, just search for Storynory and all the podcasts are FREE.
Check out their web site at http://storynory.com/.
To give you a taste of Storynory, here is a short audio clip of the Persian tale Aladdin's Lamp. The story is narrated by Natasha Gostwick.
*On second thought, since it is taking a while for the clip to be uploaded, I will have the clip another time.
