Startup Books from Oz - Online Children's Story Library

Are your children spending lots of time on the internet?

These illustrated books have been developed to encourage and foster a love of reading in children. When children can read, an entire world of discovery is open to them. The books have been created by Susan Syddall, an experienced early childhood educator with experience in teaching children of other languages to learn English. Her experience as a teacher, and as a mother of two boys who are just embarking into the world of reading, has inspired the development of an online, illustrated and interactive children's story library.

The online stories use rhyme, rhythm, repetition, humour and quality illustrations to:
  • Foster a love of language
  • Build and extend vocabulary
  • Capture children's interest
  • Inspire creativity
  • Kindle imagination.
    • Ideal for the classroom.
