Free Reading Resources
Clifford Interactive Story Books
-These interactive online books and games from Scholastic make reading
exciting and fun. Who can resist a big red dog? There are English and
Spanish options, making these books great for kids being raise in a
bilingual home or who are learning English as a second language.
Colorin Colorado
– This resource is great for children whose first language is Spanish
and are just learning to read and write in English. There are guides for
parents and teachers as well as an ELL starter kit which will give you
an idea of what level to start teaching your child.
Starfall –
This is a great place to find animated books about silly characters that
your child will love to read along with. There are also coordinating
games that test the skills being learned by reading each book. Their
“word machine” has been a favorite among all of my girls. Note: They
have a paid membership part of the site, but it is not necessary with
all of the great free content they offer.
Reading Bear
– This site is a great resource for teaching your child to read using
phonetic patterns found in English. The digital books are designed to
help your child learn to how to sound out each word. Once I get my
little one started on one of the Reading Bear word games she has so much
fun she doesn’t even realize she is learning. Your 5 year old can work
the site on her own and it shows her progress when she is done.
Owl & Mouse
– From ABC’s to learning the 100 most commonly used English words, this
site is filled with printables, craft ideas, games and videos.
Between the Lions &
Super Why!-
This site allows your child to interact with characters from the
popular PBS television shows Between the Lions and Super Why!. There are
videos, games and stories that will keep them entertained and learning
all at the same time! Our personal favorite!
Reading Is Fun
– This is a great place for your big kids to do some reading! Once you
open up one of the books they can easily click through and read at their
own pace. There is also a game station and an activity lab where you
can illustrate a story.
