Story time

Max is voracious when it comes to books. We could sit and read them all day. So when I need a bit of a break, I put on a story tape for him. What I like about story tapes (or story podcasts in this case) is that your child uses their imagination to make the story come to life. We have two go to podcasts that I thought I'd share with you because they're a perfect resource for both parents and teachers. Sometimes I even play one for my class while we're having circle time.

They are:

Listen and Play from the BBC - fifteen minute stories that include music and rhymes as well! Plus the podcast updates almost weekly. 

The Story Home - Alan Scofield tells tales old and new with his own adaptations. His voice seems to have a calming effect that soothes Max to sleep at night and the stories are even entertaining for adults.
