One Rice Thousand Gold: A Remixed Story by Rachel
This is a story Rachel (age 6) typed tonight all by herself on our family netbook. We printed it on our home printer, and then she read it aloud. I recorded her oral reading using the iPadio application on my iPhone, which created this embeddable audio version. Rachel based her story on the Starfall.com Chinese fable, “One Rice Thousand Gold.”

Rachel, This is a wonderful story. I like Starfall too. I think starfall helps students to be great readers, writers and thinkers. You are a great thinker, reader and writer.

Rachel,
I am a tech teacher from Tennessee.
I think you are amazing. The students at my school love Starfall, too. You made great connections with the story on the computer and your writing. I think you ARE a writer now! Keep up the good work!
Rachel,
I love the expression that you used when you recorded your story. Get your dad to show you how you can add really cool sound effects with a program called GarageBand. My kids love to create stories with music and sounds with it.
Well done!
