A Read Aloud Site on the Web

Even though this post is not about one specific book to read aloud to you class, I would like to invite you to check out this website:

http://www.mrsp.com/  Mrs. P.com Magic Library

On this site, an actress (from the Drew Carey Show) sits beside a virtual fireplace and reads stories aloud. The bookshelf from which a story is chosen by the listener has different genres. I particularly like the LOL section. Wait until you hear what Mrs. P did when she met the Queen of England! Students will enjoy this reader whose accent is a bit different from South Mississippi.

Children of Christmas

Children of Christmas by Cynthia Rylant

With all the excitement of Christmas season generated by decorations and advertisements, this collection of short stories evokes thoughtful contemplation of the symbols and personalities at Christmas. From the story of the bag lady to the small mountain boy who looked forward to the Christmas train, these stories paint pictures of the spirit of the season, and yes, some may provoke tears.
