One website that I have found to be very positive in a preschool-second grade age setting is a website called Starfall. You can access this website by going to http://www.starfall.com/. It has many phonics and phonemic awareness exercises, as well as letter recognition exercises. There are little stories and activities to use on this website. It is great for children who are stuggling to read or hear the sounds. It is also good for homeschool children or a child who needs a little extra practice at his or her own pace.
Another great website is Netsmartz. You can access this website by going to http://www.netsmartz.org/. It teaches children about internet safety. I will caution you that you should preview this site and direct the children to the things that you find appropriate. There is a character (Numbutts) who some people find offensive or at least not school appropriate. The basic concept behind him is that he sits around all day. I never found it to be a problem; however, I know some who have. This is a great site. Just use it with caution.
