Friday Favorites week 3

This week's Friday Favorites post is about one of my favorite early reading and literacy websites, Starfall.com.

http://www.starfall.com/

Not only is this a great website to use in the classroom, it is great to use at home, too.  I like that the site grows with your child.  There are online books and games that start with basic reading skills such as letter sound and identification and proceed to sight words, rhyming words, and books the students can read independently.  There are four categories that contain leveled and academically appropriate games  and activities for all levels and abilities.  The holiday themed games are great too!

In the download center, there are FREE books and materials that can be printed.  You can also purchase materials in The Starfall Store and their Kindergarten and Pre-K sites.

The parents section also has great information and suggestions for using the site.
