Repeat After Us

The availability of full-text Literature in netTrekker is great, but when you add Audio as a refinement, you really find some powerful resources!  Check out this great example in today’s Site of the Day, a collection of copyright-free literature ranging from nursery rhymes to philosophy and literature from many time periods and cultures. There are more than 6,000 texts, and over 1,100 of them are accompanied by audio readings. The site was originally designed to help English language learners, as users can hear and see the texts. It is also useful for those who are hearing-impaired, as well as anyone who is looking for simple access to these texts.

“English Fairy Tales” by Joseph Jacobs

Today’s Site of the Day features an illustrated collection of full-text fairy tales, including Jack and the Beanstalk, Henny-Penny, The Three Little Pigs, and The Three Bears.  Try using the netTrekker Read Aloud tool to bring these tales to life!  The netTrekker Dictionary HotKey can  help students understand the language in these tales, and the Translation HotKey can assist your ESL population while they read the text.

This site also includes a very helpful Notes section that advanced readers will want to check out. While some of these English tales will be very familiar, there are quite a few that are probably new to most modern readers!
