Learning to read with Startfall
Starfall has four different sections and several other activities to use with your students with using phonics. This page would work well with an interactive white board for full class instruction or with students on individual computers with head phones. It could be uesed as part of your centers rotation. I find this page easy to use for teachers and students. My 5 year old pre-schooler has no trouble using this webpage with no help from mom or dad.
The ABC's section helps students get ready to read. There is an activity for each letter.
Learning To Read has 15 book and activity groupings based letter combinations, sight words, and vowels. There are even some short videos.
The It's Fun To Read section is fun! There are several different activities that the students can use.
I'm Reading has several eBooks for the students to explore.
There are several other activities that would be fun to do with you class for several holidays as well. There is also an interactive calendar that is fun to use as well. It works well with an interactive white board and your calendar helper would love it!
