Transcript
Starfall's an amazing resource. There are all sorts of letter-sound activities, texts to books that the students can read online. It's a website that I actually recommend for parents to utilize with their children at home at the beginning of the year, and I find even those ELL parents learning their alphabet via this site as well, and enjoying the learning with their children at home.
