In fact, it is good for kids to be read to.
Something interesting about children is that they seem to enjoy being read to by other children.
I remember being in grade school and having times when I was allowed to read to the kindergarten class.
For some reason children love it when other children take that kind of time.
The creators of Smories [Broken URL Removed] had an idea.
It’s easy because the front page contains thumbnails of a bunch of videos.
Clicking the thumbnail will bring you straight to the video page for watching.
You might notice that right now most of the children have an English accent.
That is because the site was created in the UK.
They are going to be having American readers soon also so keep an ear out for them.
You’ll notice that the videos aren’t professionally done.
I think they were actually recorded using flip-style video cameras.
Beyond just going and watching the videos, there is also information about how to submit your own stories.
They used to run contests with cash prizes for stories submitted but they recently stopped doing that.
If there is no cash rendered for accepted stories, why submit them?
The exposure, of course.
Don’t worry because authors still retain the copyright (copyright information).
You are only giving Smories.com permission to narrate, record, and publish the recording on their site.
Now as for where they get the child readers, I haven’t figured that part out yet.
Smoriesis a safe and fun online destination for children to be read to.
Oh, and did I mention they havean iPhone version?
