Hear the sounds as YOU read the story

Read Aloud Children’s Stories With Sound Effects and Music

From your screen or our book

StoryTime KaraokeTM is a prerecorded audio background of music and sound effects timed to classic children’s tales.

Nursery Rhymes, Fables, Fairy Tales, and other children’s stories come alive as sound effects are coordinated with the words you are reading.

Read the stories right from your screen using the Video Karaoke version or the book along with the included audio so that when you say “the cow jumps over the moon,” you’ll hear it jump over the moon. You’ll hear Goldilocks slurping the three bears’ porridge and the big bad wolf blowing a house down along with many other entertaining sounds. It’s just like singing your favorite song on karaoke night. But no singing required!

Use your phone, computer or other device to record yourself reading the stories for future playback. Perfect for parents who travel and grandparents who can’t be with the kids as often as they want.

Scroll through these free stories to give it a try. There are more stories when you join the StoryTeller Club.
