Free Resources

I use a bunch of free resources for the children and thought it was time I shared them.

One of the children's favorite sites is:


(as a side note, they now have a "sister site" called more.starfall.com.  For a low membership fee your child can go beyond learning to read.  It includes math and colors.  Your child can build 3 letter C-V-C words with their word machine.  They have motions songs, nursery rhyme videos and historical folk songs.  I just love the site and think it is worth every penny)

Another site the children love is Sesame Street.
Every week they have a different theme that you will find on their home page.  There are games and quite a few muppets have their own page with lots of different educational games.  Some topics your child will learn include:
patterns
sorting
alphabet
numbers
I love that each muppet's page lists facts about the muppet, like birthday, description and favorites.

I have made some great worksheets for handwriting at Handwriting for Kids


They have worksheet makers so you can customize your own worksheets.  I have made number worksheets, calendars and traceable vocabulary words.

Handwritingworksheets.com is another site for handwriting worksheets. You can choose Print, D'Nealian or Cursive.  You can create Sentence, Single Word, Multi-word or paragraph. You type in the words you want your child to trace and it prints out Dot Trace Practice Sheets
