Each book that is read results in a book that is donated to a charity for children. While the books are not read aloud, they allow students to practice “Read to Self” with a good fit book during center time. There are books for children in preschool through fourth grade. Starfall http://starfall.com While some areas of Starfall are part of their premium service, they have many early reader stories available for free.

Between the Lions for K-3rd grade PBS Kids hosts some terrific educational material for children and their Between the Lions reading games and interactives are among the best. There are read-along folktales and fables with a twist, clever song videos of letter sounds, and amusing games. Another invaluable resource here is the Between the Lions Curriculum Guide. It shows teachers and homeschooling parents how they can incorporate the games and interactives into their reading lessons. And it provides an excellent background on the basic building blocks of reading skills using phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and text comprehension. (My teenage daughter has fond memories of Between the Lions and I had to tear her away from this website so I could finish this review!) Starfall Learn to Read with phonics Starfall Learn to Read with Phonics reading games for preK to 2nd grade children Starfall Education has created an engaging group of games and activities that range from the ABCs to fables. The stories and poems can be read by the narrator, the child, or by your child with assistance. Your child can read it and click on a word they need help with. Reading material includes simple sentences, short stories, poems, plays, fiction, nonfiction, comics, folk tales, Greek myths, Chinese fables. The phonics section includes videos to illustrate letter sounds and patterns BBC Literacy Games Literacy Games from BBC Schools for 1st-3rd grade children BBC Schools Literacy Games has a wealth of games and interactives for beginning readers. Because the site is based in the UK, pronunciations and a few of the spelling and vocabulary words will not be as familiar to American children. Also, videos on this site are only available to UK users. Nevertheless, BBC Schools educational games are favorites among most of the American students I've taught. Below are links to some of the most useful reading activities for Americans. KS1 Bitesize Literacy Games, for children ages 7-9, has games for phonics, rhyming words, alphabetical order, spelling, pronouns, conjunctions, synonyms, punctuation and sentence construction. Kids choose from among medium, hard and really hard games. A printable worksheet accompanies each activity. KS2 Bitesize Literacy Games, for children ages 7-11, has games for deductive reasoning, using dictionaries, finding information, and poetry. Starship English, for children ages 7-9, lets kids build a story and play with syllables, homonyms, punctuation, describing words, verb tenses and synonyms. Strivney Teach Your Child to Read Strivney Teach Your Child to Read for K-1st grade and ELL/ESL students Strivney Teach Your Child to Readis a series of phonics lessons that begin with letter sounds and combinations and include essential English vocabulary words. Basic grammar lessons accompany them. An excellent feature allows you to monitor your child's progress and performance as she continues through each lesson. As of this writing, Strivney has more than 1000 activities, interactives and animated learning games for beginning readers. Deborah Delin, a British teacher with more than 20 years of experience in the UK and Israel, started the Strivney program. Free registration is required. Storyline Online Storyline Online for K-3rd grade students The Screen Actors Guild Foundation has a wonderful story read along website, Storyline Online. Well-known SAG actors of all ages read 24 popular children's picture books. The narration is accompanied by illustrations from the book. Some of the stories use storybook cutout animation. Each book has accompanying lesson plan ideas and activities. My kids love to hear the actors read the stories, as they're very expressive. I've heard many of them copy the tone and pitch of the readers when the children read the books aloud themselves. ReadWriteThink Construct-a-Word ReadWriteThink Student Interactives for K-2nd grade kids ReadWriteThink Student Interactives, from the International Reading Association and National Council of Teachers of English, are jam-packed with lessons and interactive games for students of all ages learning reading and writing skills.
