3 years & up. Invite children into classic stories with a collection that brings together
six beautifully illustrated books and six matching story CDs. Each book is paired with its own CD, so children can encounter the narrative through pictures, print, and spoken language. The recordings feature multiple voices, adding another dimension to the story experience.
An educator can read a book aloud, then offer its recording as another way to hear the same story. Children can look at the illustrations while they listen or return to a familiar narrative and talk about what they noticed. These are optional ways to use the paired books and CDs, not additional items included in the set.
These classic read-alouds promote literacy and develop listening and comprehension skills. Spending time with one story can also help children practice sustained concentration and deepen their understanding of story sequence and structure. Questions about what happened first, next, and last can invite conversation about a story children have heard, while the varied voices in the recordings offer multisensory engagement.
For classroom story time or a planned listening activity, the paired formats give educators more than one way to present a narrative and revisit it with children. The collection contains six beautifully illustrated children's books, with one story CD for each book.
Titles may vary.
