Reading aloud a story to children isn't just any other ritual; it's a memory to be cherished when they grow older but also, more importantly, an effective learning tool for both parents and kids. With the two parties stuck at home in these times, children's literacy website Storyline Online streams videos featuring celebrities like Oprah Winfrey, Rami Malek, Michelle Yeoh and many more, each reading a children's book alongside animated illustrations. The platform was a Daytime Emmy Award nominee and also was recognised by Notable Children's Digital Media this year. So, we invited Shreedevi Sunil, a city-based storyteller and former educator, along with her two children to give it a try.
