Letter Recognition Games

Dear Parents,

I have located some games that your child can play on the internet to help them learn to recognize letters and help them to read words. This will help them move on to reading sentences. The kids will enjoy them and you will be pleased with the improvement in their reading skills. I hope you both enjoy them.

Alphabet Soup on TVOKids.com http://www.tvokids.com/games/alphabetgoop is a really fun game that will increase word recognition. When the game starts you will see two letters click the spoon to stir the goop then click on the thing that comes out of the goop move it under the letter it starts with click again to drop it. Its fun and helps with reading!

Topics: Reading and Language Arts — Reading, Alphabet Knowledge
Commentary: Elmo is such a character!  He makes everyone laugh.  In this game children can make him laugh or prompt him to name letters and numbers by hitting a key on the keyboard. As a child practices using a keyboard he or she can practice letter recognition.  If a letter key is hit, Elmo names the letter and says the name of (and shows) an object that begins with that letter.  When a child hits a number key, that number of objects appears on the screen and Elmo counts them.  Hitting the other keyboard keys will prompt Elmo to laugh, and laugh, and laugh, so be prepared to laugh, too.  It's catching!
