Storynory (http://www.storynory.com) is a free online website with an audio book mixture of new stories, fairy tales, specially adapted myths and histories, and songs and poems. Since November 2015 this website has regularly published an audio story every week. The stories on the website are all read by the great storyteller Natasha Gostwick who has won a place in the hearts of children and adults all over the world. Through all the hard work and dedication of the Storynory website writer, producers, publishers, and creators, the website has now a half a million story mp3 files downloaded every month from users all around the world.

             This amazing digital audio book website includes many great and amazing features and resources. Some those features include the option of downloading the audio book to your computer, Ipod, phone, or tablet, listening to “catch phrase” explanations, the ability to translate text into different languages, and the written text features available for students to follow along with the story as it is being read to them. Storynory provides a large variety of audio books which can be a great way to expand a user’s digital audio library.

Overall, Storynory is a great online resource that helps promote reading and literacy. With the large varieties of online digital audio books users are able to follow along as stories are read to them and this website is also a great tool for English language learners as one of the many great features includes the option to translate text into different languages. This website provides the many great stories for students and users who are audio and visual learners. I definitely see myself downloading stories to use in my classroom in the future.
