The Bedtime story project began as a result of the desire of the students at Hot Springs Middle School to become a part of the solution to the American literacy crisis. After much discussion and thought, the students decided that one way more reading could take place would be to read a short story each night before you went to bed. This is something some of the students are familiar with, but a lot of the students had never experienced.
All of the stories and podcasts included in this project are original works and recorded by the authors. Please enjoy them over and over and spend time reading together every day.
