Nothing shapes young minds and invigorates imaginations better than a meaningful story. If you’re looking for some great online reading and story time activities for your kids, here are some options:
Penguin Kids Story Time
Penguin Kids hosts live read-alongs on weekday mornings featuring lots of kids’ books, including Make Way for Ducklings and The Happy Book. LINK
Goodnight With Dolly
It seems that Dolly Parton has a knack for more than music. Over the past few weeks, the acclaimed singer-songwriter has been reading kids’ books on her YouTube channel, having kicked off her Goodnight With Dolly series reading The Little Engine That Could. LINK
Virtual Story Time with Miss Ann
Every Tuesday and Thursday at 10:30AM EST, kids can join Miss Ann of the Warminster Library for virtual story times. Miss Ann assigns fun themes to each installment, like Dino Week and Bug Week! LINK
James and the Giant Peach, With Taika and Friends
Filmmaker Taika Waititi is joined by special guests (Chris Hemsworth, Ryan Reynolds, Lupita Nyong’o, and more) to read Roald Dahl’s James and the Giant Peach in its entirety in an effort to raise money for Partners In Health. Six episodes are already available, with four more on the way! LINK
