There’s a unique joy in watching your students gather around you for storytime with expectant smiles. Do they sit criss-cross-applesauce in a reading corner or listen with rapt attention from their chairs? Do they help you pick out titles or wait to see what the surprise will be?
Either way, Vooks can help you transport stories off the page and into your classroom with animated read-aloud stories!
Get Vooks at no cost for your classroom
Vooks‘s goal is to help little learners develop literacy and a love for reading in a world where screens are the norm. By combining stories with engaging videos, teachers can reimagine how students experience read-alongs in their classroom. But if some students are prone to sensory overwhelm, don’t worry—the music and animation are designed to be subtle, thereby preventing overstimulation.
Best of all, Vooks is committed to providing their stories for free to educators! And in addition to over a million books for you to choose from, you’ll also have access to supplemental resources, like lesson plans and activities that pair with various titles (think teacher support kits, classroom kits, and more).
Of course, if you’re looking for something you’re a little more familiar with, you can also check out our list of the best read-along YouTube channels of 2024.
