Cheap access to children’s stories

https://www.tes.com/magazine/archive/cheap-access-childrens-stories
A new junior online library at www.storyzone.com gives quick and cheap access to children’s stories.

The NGfL-approved subscription service provides access to material from professional authors, the Storyzone serial written by and for children, and a search facility that allows teachers to find stories that match specific aspects of the national literacy strategy. The site is aimed at key stages 1 and 2, and stories can be searched by age, author, subject or title.

Although the big names in children’s literature are not all available at Storyzone, established children’s authors whose work you can download in PDF or Word format include Helen Cresswell and Tony Ross.

Subscribers need a credit card to get the membership ZoneCard, although arrangements have been made for offline subscriptions for schools. The minimum cost is pound;5, which entitles subscribers to five titles. The more money you spend, the more free stories you get - pound;20 nets you 25 titles.
