The sections are: Foster creativity - 'Young authors can boost their confidence by recording and ‘publishing’ their own stories'; Audio editing skills & practice - 'Students can work on practical production skills by improving audio quality and adding sound effects'; Public speaking development - 'In a recording setting, students can gain confidence and practice narration, intonation, and expression'; Auditory-based learning - 'Lessons, homework or stories can be recorded for convenient playback.'

Literacy comprehension

Student development through audiobooks

Our Dial-A-Story Studio also gives schools access to our Storytime Commons, a repository of traditional and original audiobooks sourced from all over the world. These stories can be shared with students to promote cultural awareness, contributing to a more inclusive and understanding school community, and offers a rich resource for teaching students about diversity and different perspectives.

Audiobooks provide access to stories for reluctant and emerging readers, introducing different vocabulary and storytelling styles into the classroom. The audible-only platform supports screen-free listening, minimizing visual distractions and on-screen prompts, helping children to develop their listening skills.

CASE STUDY

Students at Middlesboro High School, Kentucky, use our Dial-A-Story Studio to share stories with peers

Each week dynamic student pairs team up to read and record stories, accessible to others via a dedicated phone line we've set-up. This program fosters peer bonds, offers gratification for narrators, and brings joy to listeners. Our recording and secure storage system makes it easy to incorporate into classrooms.
