Storyline Online is a very unique website. It is a website sponsored by the Screen Actors Guild Foundation. The child can pick from about fifteen books that are read by famous people. The actor and actresses range from young to old but are very recognizable. The child puts their curser over the book they want to read and it will show you a picture and the name of the famous person who is reading the book. Once you pick the book, a video of the actor or actress appears and they read the book to you. Parts of the pages become animated as the story is read. There are also activity suggestions to help reinforce the storyline and an activity booklet you can download. If you would like to purchase the book there is a link that allows you to purchase any of the books on the website. I thought this was an interesting concept and would be a fun activity. It is reminiscent of the show Reading Rainbow.
