REVIEW:
Speakaboos is a site where children can develop literacy skills while learning about technology in a safe environment. The creators of the site have taken popular children’s stories, including The Emperor’s New Clothes, Stone Soup, The Ugly Duckling, and Cinderella, and brought them to life with beautiful illustrations, original music, and celebrity voices. The teachers’ area offers: story guides featuring discussion questions, activities, and story connections; worksheets with quizzes, puzzles, and word searches; and step-by-step instructions for simple arts and crafts activities for the classroom or home. Included is an area for parents, featuring resources, tips, and information about Speakaboos and Internet safety. Visitors are also invited to record and listen to their own stories, and, if they register, all the materials can be downloaded for free.
