Starting in November of 2005, Story Nory has published a free audio story every week! There are now over 100 collected stories, poems, myths, legends and fairy tales; even the complete text of Alice in Wonderland! Typically, each one is 10-15 minutes in length although, some may be shorter (or even longer, witnes Beauty and the Beast at 36 minutes). These stories are all being read to Prince Bertie the Frog by a young woman named Natasha. So, have fun exploring and don't forget to subscribe to the podcast so you won't miss out on any new stories!
I stumbled upon this quite by accident tonight, and I'm in love. The kids and I had been reading those wonderful nonsense poems by Edward Lear. I wanted to expose them to other people saying the poems so I did a quick search for audio. This was the top of the list and I (actually, James) spent almost the next hour at the site after we had finished the section about Edward Lear and the other little ones had gone to bed. He explored around, listened to The Ugly Duckling and then we discussed it. He liked the story so much that I'm planning next weeks curriculum around it.
