Resource summary: This program, sponsored by SAG-AFTRA, features notable actors including Kevin Costner and Betty White reading their favorite children’s books. To use it, just create a shortcut on your desktop to to the website. The child can sort books by title, author or reader. Just select a book, and it will take you to a video. Then, just press play and watch on!
Critical Review: Seeing and watching live storytellers is one of the best experiences for children. The next best thing is watching recorded storytellers. The readers in this program are dynamic, with wonderful vocal control and expressions. The stories are told in a very fluid fashion, and the small amount of animation that is added to them augments the storytelling.
Why include it?
Digital storytelling allows children who might not be able to come to a regular library programs to experience some of the wonder of stories.
