National Simultaneous Storytime with the Feelix Library

Dear SPEVI members, colleagues and friends,

 

Have you planned an activity around the upcoming National Simultaneous Storytime 2026?

Share it with us on the SPEVI News List!

Please find information from Vision Australia below.

 

What: Free event: National Simultaneous Storytime with the Feelix Library.
Date: Wednesday 27th May, 10:00-10:30am AEST
Location: online
Registration: free, and open to all. Register here

Each year, millions of children across the country gather with teachers, family and friends to read the same book, on the same day, creating a sense of community from a shared love of reading. This year, the chosen book is ‘Luna Roo the Kangaroo Baller’ an underdog story about believing in yourself despite the odds. This inspiring story follows Luna Roo, the new captain of FC Outback, as she and her team compete against Bush United in the Animal World Cup. 

Join the Vision Australia community online for our unique Storytime, enhanced with audio descriptions of the beautiful illustrations of Australian animals competing and cheering for the World Cup.  This will be a fully accessible event for children with blindness and low vision.

You can even create your own tactile book to read during Storytime, just like our Feelix kits!  We have produced easy to follow instructions, which can be downloaded from the event registration page.

If you would like to be part of our Storytime, but are unable to make it on the day, please register and we will send you a copy of the recording to share with your young readers.
