StoryCorps is a national oral history project that records and preserves stories of people around the country. Select recordings are broadcast weekly on NPR, with an archive of stories available for playback at the StoryCorps online home. [A tremendous storehouse of material for practicing listening skills and for advancing through other literacy expectations, such as summarizing a speaker's points or evaluating a speaker's choice of words.]
