When I created this blog, I designed it to use as a resource for parents and educators. It only consisted of tips for helping children at home with literacy-related activities. Many parents have asked me what they can do to help their child(ren) at home with their reading. I, along with some ideas from fellow educators, have come up with many ways and resources for just that. For the educators, I have added tips and resources for those teachers who struggle with coming up with ideas to share with parents.

A few Super Cool Websites for KiDs

All of the following websites are located at the bottom of the page...here are just a few highlights...

 www.scholastic.com
This website is very interactive for children.  There is a Kids tab that contains many fun items for them to explore, including games based on books, videos meeting certain authors, and information about their favorite books.

www.starfall.com
Starfall is another very fun website for readers.  It is more geared for early learners.  There are interactive games for preschool on up through first grade.  The earliest games start out by teaching sounds to letters, then eventually making sounds into words, until the child is finally reading.  Many schools use the website as extra practice in reading for their lower elementary students.


www.resources.kaboose.com/games/read1.html
Kaboose.com is a website that can be a resource for parents who want to keep their kids busy.  Not only are there many crafts and “how-to” videos, but fun learning games throughout the website for kids.  If you would like specific reading games, type in the link above.
