Effective Literacy Website: Storyline Online
Storyline
Online (http://www.storylineonline.net/) is appealing for several
reasons. First, the layout of the
website is very eye-catching. This invites you to explore the website a little more.
The visuals and audio are wonderful.
Secondly, each book is read aloud.
You will love how simple the website is.
Information does not overwhelm the website.
The home
page of Storyline Online is full of vibrant, inviting colors. Each book is large enough to see the details
of the covers and there are sound effects if you scroll over each book. When you click on the book, it leads you to a
video of the Read-Aloud. The video is a
good size for the website. It is not too
large or too small.
Each
video is read aloud by a celebrity. The
length of the Read-Aloud is given as well as a short synopsis of the book. Each book is beautifully read. Images from the book are shown in the video.
The simplicity of the website is wonderful.
It is very easy to navigate and there are not many words to overwhelm
the website. There are no advertisements
on the corners to distract from it and all the links work well.
Although the amount of books
offered is limited, they have popular titles
such as The Rainbow Fish, Stellaluna,
Harry the Dirty Dog, and Knots on a
Counting Rope. There are only twenty-four total books available on the
website. Hopefully, a larger
variety of books will be provided later on the website.
Storyline Online is a resourceful website for parents, students, or other teachers. Experiencing Read-Alouds is
very important when developing literacy skills in children. Some children may not be exposed to this when
they begin to read. This website affords
children this experience. It is very
colorful and may attract the attention of young children simply because of its
aesthetic appeal. Videos are attached to
each book so that the children may have a better Read-Aloud experience.
