Sound Stories has gone DIGITAL for interactive projection in your music classroom! Reinforce students' reading and listening skills while adding some music fun with this creative collection of 18 projectable sound stories enhanced with special sound effects. Each story has several highlighted words that, when read, are followed by a special sound or rhythm pattern played live on a classroom instrument. Your children become the "sound effects." Use the suggested instruments or substitute with those that are available.

Have your students play their patterns/sounds as you read the story or select several of them to read. Don't hesitate to act out the story for a finished product. Whatever your decision, have fun with these interactive sound adventures. Use Sound Stories with your interactive whiteboard or projection system and computer - the possibilities are endless! A printed version of Sound Stories (HL 09971399) is also available. Available: CD-ROM (with projectable and printable pages). Suggested for grades 2-5.
