In a quest to improve learning, concentration and participation, I found a digital book that was quite intriguing, it is called The Storyline Online.
The storyline online is a program of the SAG-AFTRA Foundation, their stories feature celebrated actors, who read aloud alongside beautiful illustrations while maintaining the right tone and facial expressions. With this tool, the students can see the reader, learn vocabulary and enjoy the visual pleasure of illustration while they learn. The channel is available 24 hours for children, isn’t that great? All you have to do is subscribe, you could also buy the book if you want. So I penned down some of the cool features of this tool.
Read aloud: Seasoned actors who these kids might have heard about or seen get to play in character while they read the story. This is important in learning because reading aloud to children has proven to enhance their concentration, logical thinking, reading, writing and communication skills.
Illustrations: Children have short attention spans and, they could be easily bored by the actor’s voice no matter how resplendent it may sound, and so they incorporated colour animations that would keep the student’s attention going and strengthen their memory retention.
Teacher’s guide: Storyline Online has a comprehensive Teacher’s guide on each story (Isn’t that amazing) This guide leads the teacher through the entire story.
From objectives to materials needed to procedures and worksheet samples, it’s all free; all you need to do is download the PDF file, and there you go.
