Storyplace.org. is a digital learning library targeted for preschool-aged students. It is a free website with engaging lessons and icons that are user-friendly. It allows a user to choose a theme that they like. It also includes entertaining animations and voice overs to read along to. Storyplace.org helps readers stay interested and concentrated while reading. Students have the ability to choose the topics to the story, which are all additional mechanisms for engaging the reader that users can make use of. The stories on Storyplace.org are also interactive which may help younger students with shorter attention spans to stay focused. There are a wide range of story topics that include rainbows and colors, animals, fruits, and typical jobs like firefighters. At the end of the story, students have the options to read another story or check out an activity that could be completed online.
Students
may practice reading along with the story or they may listen to the voice overs
in the story while watching the animations and videos. In addition, this
website is not only available in desktop mode, but can also be downloaded on
tablets and other mobile devices. Parents and guardians can easily access this
content at home on their own devices. The app includes many more activities
that are perfect for young learners.
Overall, this would be great for really young children or older children who are struggling with reading comprehension. The passages and stories are very simple and use a format made for primary-aged children.
