IRA Newsletter Weekly Project: Effective Literacy Website #2 (StoryPlace Website)


This website, https://www.storyplace.org, is very effective for literacy as well as other subjects such as math. It is free and provides children with the virtual experience of going to the Library and participating in the same types of activities the Library offers at its physical locations. It has been newly redesigned to present stories and activities in a format compatible with desktop and mobile devices. The site also includes early literacy information for parents and caregivers. Children have the opportunity to select different themes that they like to begin their exploration of this site. Furthermore, there are even games for each of the stories you may select. I explored and had fun by selecting a monkey/banana theme. There is an audio for the story as well as a video followed by a game based on the theme/story. Children will love this great learning website.
