Charlie and I plan on spending the rest of Summer working on both his math and reading. I was so excited when I was looking through emails and I found on for a website called
FreeReading. FreeReading Offers multi-media, open-source instructional reading program that includes a 40-week series of reading lessons covering phonological awareness and phonics activities.
Age Range: 5-8 (Grades K-3, with parental supervision)
This website offers a free, multi-media, open-source instructional reading program that includes a 40-week series of reading lessons covering phonological awareness and phonics activities.
As mentioned at the website, FreeReading provides scope and sequence activities (under the “Find Activities” link) in the following categories:
- Print Concepts: Students learn how different forms of print are read.
- Phonological Awareness: Students learn to blend and segment the sounds in spoken words.
- Letter Sounds: Students learn to say the most common sounds for printed letters.
- Sounding Out: Students learn to produce and blend the letter-sound patterns in written words.
- Word-Form Recognition: Students learn to read written words without sounding them out.
- Irregular Words: Students learn to read high-frequency irregular words by sight.
- Advanced Phonics: Students learn to read words with features such as inflected endings, silent letters, and multiple syllables.
- Letter Combinations: Students learn to say the most common sounds for letter combinations such as sh and oa.
- Letter Writing: Students learn the correct way to write letters.
- And more.
- Thank you,
