World Stories

Just came across a great website for Literacy (with a cultural twist) called World Stories (http://www.worldstories.org.uk/).  The site has stories from around the world told in 21 different languages.  There is a map feature which is useful if you're looking for stories from particular places to link to a topic of study.  You can also download an audio clip of the story being told as well as a written version.  Some background to the stories is provided.  Teachers can register for free to gain access to resources to support the use of the stories in the classroom.  A super resource!
