Starfall’s ABC site provides letter-sound examples for students in a user-friendly manner. It focuses on each individual letter of the alphabet and breaks out the vowels sounds. Students can simply click on a letter and watch several examples of words, pictures, and sounds relating to each letter. This site requires Flash. You can get it from the <a href="/tools.cfm ">TeachersFirst Toolbox page.</a>
In the Classroom
Combine the explicit instruction provided on the site with phonemic awareness instruction in kindergarten or with ESL and ELL students for better letter-sound relationships. Allow students to use this site during center time for reiteration of the lesson or for areas in which they are struggling. Be sure to have students check out the sign language tab for enrichment to the traditional spoken alphabet. Add this link to your class website so students can use this outside of class.
