RESOURCES



Alphabet Gulp This would be appropriate for advanced preschoolers and beginning of the year kindergarten students.

Literacy Game @http://www.lettertv.net/kids.htm It is about the letters of the alphabet and basic vocabulary for naming objects. This game also provides songs, but not very exciting or interactive for the children. It is a very basic game.

[|Colors, Shapes and Numbers] Cog 12 & Cog 13 Only parts of this are appropiate for PreK. For older kids it could be helpful, but is pretty simple. Rating:3

Fishing for Phonics [] 3. 4. Beginning and ending sounds with 5 letter choices. When answer is wrong there is not self correction. 5. 4

1. Name of the resource: Between the Lions: The Quiet Game 2. Address of the resource: [] 3. This game addresses the following literacy standard: CT.PK.R.13 - Phonics: Recognize familiar letter-sound correspondences 4. Description: The game displays a capital letter and shows and names three different pictures. Children need to select the picture that begins with the sound of the letter. If they select the wrong picture, the game tells them the sound that picture starts with and reminds them to search for the picture that starts with the target sound. This activity is good for preschoolers who have good letter recognition and need to practice letter-sound relationships. Younger students or children who do not have as solid a grasp of letter-sound relaionships will stll benefit from this game due to the verbal directions and reinforcers. My class has enjoyed playing this game in the SMART Room. 5. Rating: 5.

[|Name That Picture] Did not like game. If the child can't read it will be difficult to navigate. I didn't like that the pictures have faces on them (example: a mop has a face and looks more like an ostrich) rating: 2 Standard: Cog. 13 Cog. 11 happy sad

Curious George This site is geared to younger pre-k students; very short and simplistic activities.

1. Name of Resource Paw Park: Alphabet Bears 2. Address of the Resource Alphabet Bears 3. What standard does this resource address? COG 13, Identifies Printed Words Understanding of Alphabet Order 4. Enter a short description with skill level The goal of this activity is to put letters in alphabetical order. There are five bears with words on their shirts. If you scroll over the bears, the word is read to the children. The child has to move the bear from it's stationary postition and put it into a car for the roller coaster. I feel that this activity would be beneficial for older children who understand the concept of alphabtical order. This activity includes upbeat music that may be a distraction to some students. 5. Enter a short rating 1 to 5 (5 being excellent) 3

[|Phonics Jeopardy] Great game to play in First Grade and brs are given beyond. Good resource to use for whole class. Rating 4+

Garfield's Island Menu It's a good story but student should be a solid kindergarten level reader to be able to follow it.
