Starfall: This is a place where you can learn to read and learn some math skills! There are free fun things to do on this site to learn to count, add, tell time, sort colors, name letters and sounds, sound out words, and even listen to songs! There are more activities you can do if you pay a small yearly fee, so make sure to ask your parents about this if you like this website!

Game-Goo: This site is filled with fun games that can help you learn important language skills. Start with the games at the bottom, they are the easiest. When you are ready for a challenge work your way up to the top. Find and click the FUN GOO to find six fun goo games!

MED-EL Soundscape: Want to play a fun game and also work on becoming a better listener? Then visit this site! Find the game the best matches your age and play away! If you want more of a challenge try the next harder game. I would recommend the "Let's Go Shopping" game.

ASLPRO: This is one of the best American Sign Language video dictionaries I have found. You can use it to look up almost any sign you want. This website can be hard to use at first, so you may want to ask a parent or other adult to help you.
|
We Give Books: This is a great place to read books online! Even better, each time that you read a book, the Pearson Foundation dontates a book to another kid who doesn't have books in their house to read. So practice your reading and help others, all at the same time!
