You may already know of this fabulous web resource. The Screen Actors Guild has famous actors (and Al Gore) reading storybooks aloud with the text along the bottom. Who wouldn't want James Earl Jones to read them a story? The kindergartners were able to enjoy David Shannon's A Bad Case of Stripes read to them by Sean Astin. He reads it so well the students were engrossed.
Having another voice read them a story complemented our study of David Shannon. The kindergartners have heard me read some of his stories, watched a video of David Shannon reading Too Many Toys followed by a lesson on how to draw David. We learned why David's teeth are pointy, why his eyes are lopsided, why his nostrils are different sizes, and why there are no holes in his ears. Ask your child why.
