Touch Pianist is a musical toy / instrument that allows the user to perform hard-to-play classical piano music favorites (from composers like Beethoven, Mozart, Bach, Satie, Debussy to name a few) just by tapping the rhythm of the piece's particular sound events on a computer keyboard or a touch screen.

Welcome to Play Dot to Dots Online - the home of great dot-to-dot puzzles online. We currently have a wonderful selection of 30 dot to dot puzzles that you can enjoy solving online. There are over 10,000 dots to be found and clicked among the set of 30 puzzles - with a dot count ranging from 400 to nearly 800 across the different puzzles.

The dot to dot puzzles on this site are very different from children's dot to dot, where the dots are easy to find and typically there are no more than around 100 dots per image. As such these dot to dot are for experienced dot to dot solvers and adults. However, at the same time puzzles are meant to be enjoyable, relaxing, and fun to solve.

If you'd like the escapism offered by some calming dot-to-dot puzzles, then you've come to the right place. The rules of our dot to dot online are simple: for each puzzle we draw the line between dots 1 and 2 to get you started and help you find where the puzzle starts, so you must click from dot three onwards. When you hit the end of a line, we'll start you off again at the beginning of the next line segment. This means you can enjoy concentrating on finding the dots and clicking each line segment, without spending ages trying to find the start of disparate lines.

When you finish the puzzle, we'll tell you. And - best of all - if you'd like a break at any point, simply click to save your game, and when you come back again you can start from where you left off, so you never need to solve the puzzles all in one go! And if you get really frustrated, you can click 'show solution' if you give up and just want to see what the solution image is.

Reading out loud to kids is an important way to build a love of books that lasts a lifetime. Read-alouds also demonstrate reading fluency and book skills, like turning pages and reading from left to right. That's why it's important to choose quality book videos for kids, so the online experience mimics in-person reading as much as possible. Fortunately, we've done the legwork for you and found the best read-alouds on YouTube to share with the kids in your life.

How we chose the best read-alouds on YouTube

YouTube has an enormous selection of read-aloud videos. Some are amazing-and some are not. Though any time kids spend with books has merit, we feel that quality videos should provide the same educational experience that in-person reading does. A good read-aloud:

Has clear sound with an emphasis on the reading (we don't need music or any extra sounds).

Shows the cover of each book.

Mentions the title, author, and illustrator of the book (with correct pronunciation).

Demonstrates proper concepts of print (the pages turn right to left).

Shows the text of the book while the person is reading.

Demonstrates fluent reading.

With that in mind, here are the read-aloud channels we love. We hope you do too! As always, please preview any video to ensure the content is appropriate for your audience. ( Get tips for using read-aloud videos at home here.)

Stories for kids-read by a kid! This channel features tons of favorite books, read beautifully by a child who knows how to make the story engaging and fun. Kids will find it easy to connect with a voice that sounds more like their own, encouraging them to try reading aloud on their own more often.

Ready for some titles you haven't seen before? The Story Time Family has a big virtual bookshelf with playlists for animals, social-emotional learning, and more. No commercial characters here, just good-quality selections kids haven't already heard dozens of times.

Ms. Becky has such a comfortable presence onscreen, and she asks viewers questions before and after reading in an incredibly natural way. She has several hundred videos to choose from, with favorite standbys and newer titles too.

This channel includes a giant selection of books, with titles to interest any child. Page flips are animated, but in general these are good videos with books read in an engaging voice.

Mrs. K often includes interesting facts during the introduction, then gets to the book itself. Her playlists include funny books, informational books, holiday books, and more.

Looking for read-alouds with some personality? Check out Ryan and Craig! They're comedians who read children's books and comment (in kid-appropriate ways) as they go. They're fun and entertaining, but the reading is good quality and so are the book choices.

The puppet voices might seem a bit much for parents, but kids love the high energy of these read-alouds on YouTube. The variety here is exceptional, with whole sections of Hispanic Heritage books, seasonal books, and STEM books.

Looking for a selection of books that embraces multiple cultures and identities? This channel has a terrific selection of inclusive books to expand kids' horizons. We do wish the videos featured the text on each page a little more instead of zooming and panning, but the diverse library of titles makes up for it.

Read Right Now uses e-books instead of paper books, so the page flipping is a little different. But the reader uses a clear and engaging voice, and their selection of titles is top-notch.

If your kids are always begging "Do the voices!" when they listen to read-alouds, they'll like Awnie. Although these videos don't show the pages of the book being flipped, they do ensure the text is featured as Awnie reads. We especially like the playlists for School Days and Kindness and Acceptance.

Brightly Storytime is another channel that doesn't show physical books with flipping pages, but they do have one unique feature: The words are highlighted as they're read, making it easier for kids to follow the text. The playlist where authors read their own books has some of the best read-alouds on YouTube.

If you're looking for well-read classics, check out this channel. There are two dozen books to watch, all read in a way that's perfect for little ones to follow along.

The basic read-alouds here check all the boxes: clear reading, engaging voices, and a wide selection, including many that older readers will like. This is a super channel for struggling readers to plug into during center time, as there are many high-interest Pete the Cat books and other popular characters from mainstream movies and programs.

There are lots of commercial-character books here, but the Reading Unicorn does them well. Parents might appreciate these read-alouds on YouTube most; let the playlist run while you catch up on some laundry or check your email.

Dolly Parton is a huge champion of children's literacy. During the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, she put out a series of 10 "bedtime story" videos. Her charm and sweetness shine through on every page of these gems, and though there are only a handful of read-alouds, you'll want to watch them again and again.

What are your favorite read-alouds on YouTube? Join the conversation and exchange recommendations on the WeAreTeachers HELPLINE group on Facebook.
