As an educator myself, I’m gratified that this was of use to students!

Hello, Mr. Bray. I teach academically gifted kids in Louisiana. We are studying Poe and I found your site quite by accident this morning as I was preparing to teach “Cask of Amontillado.” My kids are quite jaded and hard to please when it comes to reading along with an audio version of the literature we cover. I decided to have them do it with this story anyway (although I did not preview the audio version b/c I was out of time) , but anticipated their typical remarks at its conclusion. To my great surprise and pleasure, they (and I) LOVED your presentation. They said it really helped them understand and enjoy the story. We will definitely be using your podcasts again. Thank you for a job extraordinarily well done.

Thank you! My students struggled through reading this story and will do much better hearing it aloud!

You recording of the “Cask Of Amontillado” is so cool. It gives the feeling that you are actually experiencing it. And the voices are just perfect for hte characters.

Thanks for making this available online. I used it to help my students read the story. It really helps with the unfamiliar language, vocabulary.
