Free read aloud videos: children’s books read online.

Our children’s picture books are narrated by a full cast accompanied by original music for a theatrical reading experience. The text is shown as the book is read giving kids the opportunity to improve their word recognition skills.

The author/illustrator plays an important role in these recordings as the voice of Doozy Moo and several other major characters. This gives her the chance to tell the stories with the humor and playfulness that was originally intended.

A highly cited study found that some parents felt their storytelling abilities were lacking. While these parents probably just need a confidence boost, watching well-produced read aloud videos should help. Our digital storytelling can give parents an idea of where to add sound effects and when to use inflection. They can also learn what pacing and voices might work best as the story progresses.
