Follow the Yellow Brick Road

Our fifth graders are about to begin reading the beloved American fairy tale, The Wizard of Oz, by L. Frank Baum.  There will be some at home reading that will need to be done each night. Never fear, there is an awesome web site that will read the story to the children. This is not cheating, in fact, it is a good practice to read along with a fluent reader, and let's face it, most of us love to be read to. http://www.podiobooks.com/title/the-wonderful-wizard-of-oz is the address for the site. I have found that you need to be able to play MP3's on your computer in order to listen to this podcast, so some families that do not have this capability on your computers may have difficulty using it. I hope you all enjoy our journey to Oz.
