Storynory
A virtual cornucopia of hundreds of audio stories for almost any level of student. Stories can either be listened to while on line or downloaded. The site is very easy to navigate with a screen reader so it's a good site to send the kids to.
The kids can search around for things or you can save them some time and tell them to go to Original Stories and listen to an Astropup story or go to Classical Authors and download Oscar Wilde's, The Selfish Giant.
1. Once the site has settled down, list links. (NVDA - INS + F7) and go to the story's page.
2. Once the story's page has settled down, list links:
- to listen, continue tapping P until Play / Pause is heard. Tap Enter to begin listening.
- to stop reading the story, list links. If you've been relaxing and listening to the story, the focus should still be on the Play / Pause link. Tap Enter to stop story. If it doesn't stop, then list links, tap P until you hear Play / Pause then tap Enter....next time just sit back and listen...
- to return to the previous screen, ALT + F4.
Or, you can download the story by listing links and continue tapping D until Download is heard. Tap Enter to download. The file is automatically downloaded to your Downloads folder.
