You are welcome. Just make sure that you will be smart when choosing what your babies and children are allowed to watch. :yes:
This is a list of some videos AVAILABLE - I DEFINITELY DO NOT RECOMMEND ALL OF THEM!!! :nowink:
Martina

thank you, it’s a great list to check
now I’ve decided to see only one page (internet resources) for a day
what do you think about?
it’s important to concetrate by BK!!!and all presentations which we can translate into our languages (some day…)
I saw all of this site and I think that only 20% can be wievs for our children (from my list)
they are A LOT!!! of strong distraction extras like publicity etc. or the themes image is sorrounded by others, smaller, noiesier, it’s distracting
be carefully
this can creat some kind of dipendency, I love to checking all sites (% minutes…) when my babies is playing…but he undertstan that is not ok and later won’t see any presentation…

www.starfall.com

Starfall is a scientific, research-based reading materials and activities based on the “Big Five” focus areas recommended by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development: phonemic awareness, systematic phonics, vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension—with the additional area of motivation. The Starfall program weaves these focus areas together into a cohesive, fun, and entertaining program that kids from pre-kindergarten thru second grade will love!

Motivation: Starfall employs the computer to develop feelings of wonderment and play, not rote assessment. The activities, songs and books complement your classroom by creating an atmosphere of fun and enthusiasm that infuses all aspects of learning. Our online and printed activities use positive reinforcement to guide children in making correct responses. Because students meet success with our activities, they are motivated to want to learn more. You will find that Starfall students of all reading levels are excited and eager to participate. Starfall students who receive personal copies of the materials feel a sense of ownership, responsibility and pride.

Phonemic Awareness: Drawing from the foundational “Alphabetic Principle,” of phonics, children learn to recognize the relationship between letters and sounds.
–Online
Starfall ABCs
–Offline ABC Practice Pages

Systematic Phonics: A sequential phonics method recommended by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development encourages children as they master sound-spelling by listening to, manipulating, and reading through a variety of books and games.
–Online
Learn to Read
–Offline
Level I Journal (Block Print or Manuscript)
Cut Up/ Take Home Books

Vocabulary: Children expand their reading vocabulary and comprehension through exploration of a variety of genres and topics.
–Online
It’s Fun to Read
–Offline
Level II Journal (Tip: Great for students learning English as a second language!)

Fluency: Vocabulary-controlled stories introduce children to words they will frequently encounter in reading. Selections read in their entirety model the qualities of fluent reading: intonation, expression, inflection and rate.
–Online
I’m Reading --Offline
Download Center: features a large selection of books and activity printables

Comprehension: As your children develop the above skills they will transition from learning to read to reading to learn—the end goal of all reading instruction. Writing prompts appear site-wide, but more importantly, every activity at Starfall is a springboard for discussion.

thank you, I’d like to describe every new site that way in the feature :slight_smile:

Hi Ed,
Thank you very much for your links! I would like to check with you is it whenever I would like to get the latest update I just need to refer to your initial post for the updated links?

Hi!

Leny here. Thank’s so much for those wonderful links. I love to check them all again and again coz they’re pretty useful for my 8 months old baby. I bet he does! :slight_smile:

Has anyone posted www.learningplanet.com yet?
I just found it.

Thanks for all of the hard work in getting the sites together. I try not to repost sites that have already been posted, so if this is one I apologize.

So I do. One way to find out whether it has been posted yet is using the search function and searching for the website, e.g. “www.learningplanet.com” at this forum before posting :yes:.

I found a great montessori website, lots of interesting activities
