I found this website for children who are in the early stages of reading such as letter recognition. This website is interactive for the students. Additionally, it can help ELL students as well because there are interactive books and lessons. I would recommend using this website only for additional support, and not the main strategy for teaching literacy. For example, during center time, this could be used as a computer center. I would pair the website up with introducing the alphabet. For example, this week we are learning about the "a" letter. I would only have students complete the "a" section of this website. Here is an example of what the a sound is: http://www.starfall.com/n/short-a/sa/load.htm?f There are also many games that go along with the interactive stories they have on the website. These games help develop context clues, semantics, and phonics. I really enjoy the colors and the images this website also provides. I showed the website to my younger sister who is just learning to read, and she was on it for 2 hours!
