I was over at another mom’s house recently and she was telling me about a great website that her daughter loves, which is also educational.  It’s called Starfall.com – I checked it out with Cameron, and he really enjoys it.  The site has different levels of reading and phonics help for different aged children – we stuck with the A B C’s for now!

Pick a letter, any letter!

Pick a letter, any letter!

All the letters of the alphabet are laid out, clicking on each one brings up a small interactive display about each letter – what it sounds like, what it looks like (upper and lower case,) some words starting with and containing each letter, with some pictures or animation, and in some cases a small game.  There is also a section on sign language.

A is for....

A is for....

B is for... GRR!

B is for... GRR!

C is for... Cameron's favorite.  He loves Cats!

C is for... Cameron's favorite. He loves Cats!

The displays are easy to navigate, and although Cameron isn’t using the mouse yet, I think given his expertise with the iPhone, it won’t be long before he won’t need my help at all.  So check out Starfall.com with your little learner!
