Our systematic phonics approach, in conjunction with phonemic awareness practice, is perfect for preschool, kindergarten, first grade, second grade, special education, homeschool, and English language development (ELD, ELL, ESL).
A site aimed towards the primary years. Used this during my internship in a kindergarten classroom. Not only did the kids love it, they were able to interact with many of the aspects during the free time on one of the PCs in the classroom, or during the morning circle on the SMART board.
This is a great site for children ages 2-8. It teaches pre-reading as well as reading skills up to 2nd grade. Includes games, animated stories, songs, and writing activities. I use it daily!
