I have compiled a list of resources and websites that can help foster your child's interest in reading, keep their math skills sharp, and learn more about a ton of science topics. By taking advantage of these free resources, your child will be able to practice reading independently, have a new story read to them, practice number concepts, and discover jellyfish, the water cycle and more!
ABCya! http://www.abcya.com/
Children can listen to a story or read along with highlighted text using ABCya! There are also a variety of other other skills including counting, letter identification, addition & subtraction, puzzles, and much more!
You Tube - High Frequency Words (a.k.a Red Words) https://www.youtube.com/watch/?v=Dfb6lY0TJCQ
This YouTube video reads the red words, we also refer to them as Club Words, that we will be learning over the course of the year. These words are not phonetic and therefore cannot be sounded out and must be learned and recognized by sight.

A highly engaging site where children can have books read to them while following along. Starfall also gives an opportunity for kids to create their own story. While mostly free of charge, some of the features can be accessed by purchasing the premium version.
