Virtual Storytime links

Ms. Dani is hard at work getting some virtual storytimes planned and prepped for you! We hope to go LIVE on Facebook next week at 1:30 pm Monday - Friday (March 30 - April 3, 2020). 

In the meantime, please check out some of these amazing online resources of celebrities, astronauts, and authors reading aloud just for you!!

Storyline Online offers a huge selection of celebrities reading a wide variety of amazing books. The illustrations are often animated, making for a fun video read-aloud experience! 


Story Time From Space features astronauts currently in orbit on the International Space Station. While in space, the astronauts film themselves reading books to the children of Earth. These videos are then edited and placed under the "Story Time Videos" tab on their website. This website also includes other educational activities, experiments, and demonstrations. Definitely worth checking out!


#OperationStorytime is a growing movement of authors reading their books on various platforms and sharing with you. This list is not exhaustive so make sure to search your favorite social media outlet for more! For example, Oliver Jeffers (one of Ms. Dani's favorites!) isn't on this list but can be found on Instagram Live. While many of these are live recordings, many of the authors are leaving them up on their pages for a period of time or posting them to their websites. 


**We'll update again soon with more!**
