(Half a) Story Hour 📻

Half an hour of stories for kids – and “kids” of all ages! 📖✨

About (Half a) Story Hour

(Half a) Story Hour is written, produced and presented by Inari, a teacher and story nerd, and airs first on CFCR 90.5 FM.

Her actual aunt was a “fairy tale aunt,” a satutäti, who wrote, told and drew stories for kids in Finland (including live on TV!). 

“In each episode, we’ll read and talk about some of the best stories out there, with a musical ‘interlude’ in the middle to give our brains a break - and explore stories told through music…!” 🎶

A Note for Teachers

Take a break with (Half a) Story Hour! 

The show uses (inter)active reading to model strong reading habits, never forgetting that stories should first and foremost be FUN.

Each episode includes suggested activities, and you’ll find bonus content here on the show’s web page – including links to read-along copies of any stories that are in the public domain. 📝
