Starfall help
teach your child
to read! There
are four levels
of games here -
ABCs, Learn to
Read, It's Fun
to Read, and I'm
Reading.This
site is laid out
a little bit
differently than
other sites that
have free online
preschool games.
The games are
meant to be
played in a
particular order
and in and of
themselves are
supposed to be
able to teach
your child how
to read.The
activities are
interactive and
simple, and make
learning fun.
Toddlers can
also keep their
baby sign
language fresh
with the sign
language lessons
offered. They
have online
books (free, of course), that will
highlight each
word as a
narrator reads
aloud to your
child. There is
also an animated
ABC section that
is completely
appropriate for
preschoolers.
Need to give
your little one
extra practice
with sounds and
emergent reading
activities?
Starfall is the
place to go. |
