I've been volunteering in a 1st grade classroom this semester and the teacher has played several of the stories in her class already. This website is sponsored by the Screen Actors Guild Foundation. What they do is recruit actors and actresses--such as Elijah Wood, James Earl Jones, and Betty White--to read picture books to a camera, which is then uploaded to YouTube, and can be watched either inside or outside of the classroom or library. Each story also has a list of related discussion questions and activities to work with after hearing the story. Oh, and as an added bonus, although the videos are uploaded to YouTube, schools that don't have access to YouTube can click on a link on the main website so that they can still watch the videos!
The website is http://www.storylineonline.net/.
