Read-Along: The Forgotten Song: Saving the Regeant Honeyeater
READ-ALONG WITH STORYBOX!
We're excited to share with you that StoryBox is introducing something special—our Read-Along version of The Forgotten Song.
With the Read-Along version, kids can follow the story both with their eyes and their ears. As they listen to the fun narration, they’ll also see the words appear on screen in a simplified way, helping them connect spoken words to text. N.B. the read-along captions will appear for the book section of the video only.
The song of the regent honeyeater has been heard in the bush for many generations – but could it soon be lost forever?
Regent’s father had learnt the song from his father, who learnt it from his father too. But with Regent’s species now facing extinction, there is no one around to teach him. Regent tries to mimic the sounds of different birds but without success.
Will Regent learn his mating call before it’s too late? Or will his ancient song be forgotten forever?
A moving story of a Regent Honeyeater who forgets his song, and how he learns it again.
Written by Coral Vass, illustrated by Jess Racklyeft and read by Kirli Saunders.
