Starfall.com is a free public service to teach children to read. Includes language arts and mathematics games for Pre-K through 3rd grade. 

Starfall’s emphasis on phonemic awareness, systematic sequential phonics, and common sight words in conjunction with audiovisual interactivity has proven effective in teaching emergent readers. 

Starfall activities are research-based and align with Individual and Common Core State Standards in English Language Arts.

With ABCya's fun and educational games, you'll laugh your way through lessons on language arts topics ranging from alphabetical order to idioms. 

Includes games, activities, and printables for Pre-K through 6th grade.

Reading Bear, a project of WatchKnowLearn.org, is the first free program online to teach beginning readers vocabulary and concepts while systematically introducing all the main phonetic patterns of written English, all using innovative rich media. 

Aimed mainly at children learning to read at the traditional ages of 4-7. The concepts, vocabulary, and length of the presentations were designed especially with these ages in mind.

Includes 50 presentations, covering 100+ phonics patterns and illustrating over 1,200 vocabulary items.

A great resource for parents, teachers and children to easily and simply listen to a great collection of children's books.

The site is designed to be intuitive to even a non-reader.

Children can't navigate away to follow other YouTube leads.

There are only children's books on the site.

The reading generally only shows the book versus showing the reader.

Animation on the site is limited to nice editing jobs that zoom to parts of the page.
