Storynory

I just found a great website I wanted to share with you all, storynory.com. It is fantastic. they have tons of audio books for children that you can download for free. They have fairytales, classic, and even some original stories.

Here is how to download them onto your computer so you can burn them on a CD. (I only share because R had to tell me how to do it) When you pick a category then pick a story, the script of the story is there. above the script is a play button, so you can play the story from you computer while following along in the story. Above the play button it says "Download the audio" (or something close to that. It's different for every story) You want to right click on that (or control-click for a Mac). Click on "Save As" or "Save Link As." This should allow you to download it onto your computer.

What a great thing to listen to in the car. I'm planning on making a CD for B and S to listen to next time they come down. Plus, I bet you have children's book of many of these stories. You children can follow along with the book. Don't worry if the story isn't quite the same. Your young children will love to follow the pictures.

Thanks Storynory!
