Some time ago, I recommended a great site (Starfall.com) for teaching children to learn and most importantly to enjoy reading. As this site explains: "This program was created to meet the needs of the emergent reader by incorporating rhyming games and high-interest books that teach phonemic awareness (sounds in words), phonics, decoding skills, and comprehension. The program is designed to instill confidence and enable the child to proceed as quickly as possible to a balanced reading program".
This time, I'd like to recommend a wonderful site called "Clifford The Big Red Dog". You'll find different sections and in "Read and Write Stories", you can enjoy "Emily Elizabeth goes to school", "Where's Emily Elizabeth?" and "Clifford's Big Dig".

Learning through stories
“Stories offer a whole imaginary world, created by language that children enter and enjoy, learning language as they go”. (“Teaching languages to young learners” by Lynne Cameron).
Everyone knows the charming attraction of a story, a folk tale, a fable… Children love stories (and adults too!). In your English lesson plans, never forget to include stories either for young or old learners. Make use of them as much as possible. If you’re planning to use online stories, these two sites are highly recommendable:
Story Place has a wonderful collection of stories for Primary pupils both in English and Spanish. You’ll also find activities, reading lists and parent activity sheets.
Starfall has 15 online interactive stories with sound; in this way, pronunciation and intonation are practised without any effort while children enjoy the story.
