It is safe to say that today's preschoolers and kindergartners are digital natives. My kids love to use the computer or any electronic device they can get their hands on....ipod...ipad...cell phones. But where should we go when we want them to learn while using the computer? What are some of the best websites for kindergartners to visit to practice letters, numbers, and other important subject areas? Here is a list of the top five best websites for the preschool - primary grades.
1. Starfall - this language arts/reading website is designed to be fun, exciting, and to instill confidence in young children as they learn to read. The focus is on phonemic awareness, systematic phonics, vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension that follows a developmental curriculum..
2. Nick Jr. - If your child watches any Nick Jr. Shows - this is the website to visit to see Dora, Team Umizoomi and Max and Ruby while learning about shapes, math, and reading. There are some advertisements - but these can be skipped over.
