Have you heard of Storynory? It is a collection of free downloadble stories! You know they must be good because the site is sponsored by CGMS (Center for Guided Montessori Studies).
I'm finding myself doing more and more reading aloud in the classroom. I like reading a story early in the work cycle to help set the tone for the day and as a way to bring our current theme study to life (not to mention practicing listening and group-activity skills). We have been reading chapter books in the afternoon and it seems to help transition the kids from high-action recesses to concentrated classroom work. With Storynory they'll have a chance to use their imaginations even more as there are no pictures to go along.
Now, to figure out how to play them in my technology-free classroom.......
