Bells Mill Elementary School Pre-K

In the computer lab, Kindergarten students are learning to log in independently. We are also practicing mouse skills, phonemic awareness and reading using the following web sites:

We do not necessarily use all of the web sites listed below, but they are resources we want to provide (see credits). If you have any questions about these sites, or find that a link is no longer working, please let me know.

Name Game Children need daily opportunities to use language expressively and purposefully in a variety of social situations. Use Nina to help guide your discussion.

Rhyming Game Children are trying to make sense of the patterns and sounds in language. With Reggie, you can help children develop phonological awareness.

Spelling Game Recognizing letters of the alphabet, along with their sounds, is a critical step for children. With Leo, you introduce letters in context as well as in drawing and writing activities.

Words and Pictures Know your basic letters and sounds, now what? Well it's off to words and further phonics areas such as Vowel Phonemes and Consonant Clusters. Here you can find great online interactive games and activities for each of these areas along with printable activities for further reinforcement. How many of the High Frequency Words do your students already know? There is also a Gallery section with student submitted writings and suggestions for getting your students' work posted. Maybe your students will enjoy this site so much that they will even access it from home. Grades 1-3

ABC Gulp Letter recognition

Animal Eyes 50 to 75 percent of all words in text material are common words which are repeated. These 220 words are called the Dolch Sight Words. Because these words are used to hold thoughts together, these words must be recognized at at glance before a child can read with confidence. Try this fun interactive challenge game where the visitor can be drilled on these words and hear on the internet any words he/she can't read.
