STARFALLK-2 students. It is a fantastic, free website for early reading that is excellent for practice at school and at home. For Kindergarten teachers, start with the ABC’s section and notice that everything that sparkles will have something read to the children or will start an action. Also note that on the opening screen for the ABC’s section, there is a link for Teacher Pintables. These are great take home pintables for the children to practice writing and letter sounds. For 1st and 2nd grades, you’ll likely start with the Learn to Read, It’s Fun to Read or I’m Reading sections. These, too, have excellent free pintables (There are ABC printouts, mini books, reading and writing journals and much much more! All available at their Download Center ) They even have beautiful color take home books you can order for next to nothing. Want to teach your students the  ABC's in sign language?  They’ve got that too! Finally, in the It’s Fun to Read section, there is an activity called All About Me that would fit nicely with many of the beginning of the year activities at each school.

Dr. Seuss - I don’t know of any small children, including my own, that were not raised with the assistance of Dr. Seuss. Seussville combines learning with fun for your grade-schoolers. There are click 'n play games, print and color sheets, and my favorite "Create Your Own Book," so simple that even kids who cannot yet read will appreciate. There are also links to merchandise and book related events for parents.

Sesame Street Workshop - Once your students return to the classroom, it is sometimes difficult to keep them focused. Leave it to Sesame Street to offer some great online teaching tools. The site features games, stories, art, music, and more for elementary age children. What child could resist Elmo reading a book such as "Henry the Little Fish?" I also found the adventures of Super Grover, an interactive game, where kids can help the fuzzy Muppet solve problems with rhyming games.
