Download Free Podcast Children Stories

By Elena McDowell


With the wide amount of resources available on the Internet for entertainment and learning, story telling is taking on a whole new meaning. Parent and child once enjoyed story-telling with parent as reader, and child as listener. Modern technologies are changing this. Stories today are delicately weaved and offered as free podcast children stories on websites. With increasing popularity they are being downloaded, and allow a different type of reading and listening experience.

Podcasts include classical and contemporary readings, and allow a child to experience the world of story-telling by audio, with or without the book. They are available on many websites, and famous music sharing and download sites. They can be downloaded to computers, phones, tablets, and readers for easy storage and listening.

Not only are they great activities for parent and child, but they are also resources teachers regularly use in classrooms. Those with whiteboards can also implement other activities. Most free podcast websites list different categories for easy searching. Most can be found under particular subject matters, authors or certain topics.

Educators and parents can choose subjects related to ethics, festive celebrations, or educational subject matters. Some sites offer activities that kids complete during or after listening. Activities such as questions and answers, poetry, online puzzles, and other fun activities are available. Some sites offer readings of well known, or site created books. Others offer full downloads.

Yet others offer podcasts created specifically by the website, with actors taking on voices of characters for a unique fairytale experience. Users tune in once a week to enjoy the new episode, each week with characters experiencing a different storyline. In this way site users are able to enjoy stories on the Internet that aren't available in stores.

Stories in text format are available for download at some sites for those using the site for more educational purposes. This also allows children to increase reading and listening skills, or even prepare for classroom work. Some sites encourage this use and have selections broken up into appropriate grade levels.

Not only are podcasts used in traditional classrooms, but they are also used by English teachers teaching students whose first language is not English. Most readings speak slowly so students can easily repeat words and remember them. Children's songs are also a favorite learning method of second language learners.

Fun songs allow kids to experience stories in a fun, interactive way. They also allow for learning sounds, words and syllables, and increasing word knowledge. Fun ways of learning allow students to enjoy learning in a new way, and encourage children to want to learn.

Free podcast children stories takes storytelling to a new level. Not only is it fascinating to young learners, but it allows teachers to pay attention to what children are learning as the story is being read. Online story telling also acts as a teacher and parental assistant, and allows for holding up cards, or implementing other activities with the podcast.
