Storyline Online, stories from the stars!

Looking for an extra addition to that book you're reading to your K-2 students? Check out Storyline Online! This site is offered by the Screen Actors Guild Foundation and brings video of your favorite actors reading childrens' books for free!


Check out Ernest Borgnine (The Dirty Dozen ....or to the kids, the voice of Mermaid Man on Spongebob Squarepants) reading Rainbow Fish by Marcus Pfister, or watch Sean Astin (Lord of the Rings) read A Bad Case of the Stripes by David Shannon, or watch my personal favorite, Harry the Dirty Dog by Gene Zion, read by Betty White!

The stories also show the illustrations in the books that are accompanied by some animation.  You can also look for suggested activities to go with each book.

Check out the site today to see if the book you are reading is in the list!
