Today you’re in for a treat: an introduction to one of my family’s recent discoveries, Sparkle Stories. My three children have fallen in love with these imaginative tales, and I think yours will as well.
From Sparkle Stories:
“Sparkle is an online resource for high-quality audio stories for children and families. Each week Sparkle Stories delivers delightful audio stories to subscribers around the world.
We offer three original Story Series, plus a fourth Series with classic stories, songs and games, all designed to entertain and inspire the whole family. (Jamie’s note: One of the storylines, Martin & Sylvia, features a homeschooling family.)
Audio stories, or stories told out-loud, are untethered to images viewed on a screen. The child is free and able to paint her own pictures out of her own imagination. She becomes relaxed and entranced – committing herself fully to a fantastic adventure.
Sparkle Stories are fun, Sparkle Stories are inspiring, and Sparkle Stories are good for young minds and spirits! Our stories inspire a sense of wonder and magic in life, encourage creativity and a strong sense of self, and even illuminate common childhood challenges.”
Two Simple Homeschool winners will receive a 3-month subscription to the full Sparkle Story series–that includes all four stories.

This would be awesome for my 3 yr. old daughter. We just recently made a life change of no TV in the home. She is in love with books on tape and this would be a great addition. I really hope we win.
