Smories is a website with short videos of children reading original stories for kids. There are 50 new Smories added every month. Writers are encouraged to submit their original children's stories to be featured on the website. The stories are advertised as being suitable for children aged three to eight although there are many stories that would also appeal to children older than eight. This site offers a great way to model reading with expression and can also be used as a comprehension activity. Encourage the students to picture the story in their mind as they listen. Listening to Smories is also a good way to revise the features of a narrative.
