This site requires that you sign up for a free account in order to use the interactive stories. It has bunches, grouped into different levels, beginning with Nursery Rhymes, and moving up to Traditional Tales. The kid can login, click the story, and it reads it aloud along with animations. After you start the story, you can turn on/off the words, voice, etc. There are even games as well as printable worksheets to go along with each of the stories!! It's awesome, and FREE!

A common challenge for students and teachers is how to develop a great idea for a piece of writing. Too often students struggle with the process of finding inspiration for their writing. They have a vague idea for the story they hope to tell, but all too quickly it transforms into a list of events with little or no detail. The goal here is to provide our students with a process to use during the planning process. The hope is that by identifying the type of thinking required during the early phases of ideation and to focus their attention on details, that the stories our students subsequently compose will be more enjoyable to read. Hopefully, this process helps.
