Splendid Sites : LiteracyCenter.net

The Splendid Sites feature is designed to help you find fun and safe websites to visit with your toddler and kids. Some of the sites are educational in nature and some are just plain fun! If this is your first time visiting, be sure to check out some of the toddler websites that we've featured in the past.

LiteracyCenter.net is a site that is devoted to helping children learn to read. 

“At the LiteracyCenter.Net, we believe that learning to read in a first language should be as natural as learning to speak. All research at the Literacy Center begins with parents and teachers because no one knows better what children need than those who love them and teach them.”

The site provides activities in different areas ~ letter {uppercase and lowercase}, numbers, colors, shapes, simple words, and keyboarding {there are four different languages available for all activities}. Each activity has different levels also so that the games can ‘grow’ or change each time you use them. All of the games are interactive and engaging for little ones.

Shapes can be sorted and matched using a shadow (and helps your kid to learn mouse skills of drop/drag)

Click on a color and it is named while the color grows and expands.

In one of the number games, children learn to match the word to the actual number of objects.

They also do have printable pages on their site on letters, shapes, numbers etc. Do check out their collection of printables which are useful for parents to use with their kids here.
