WAHOO!! Free LA Workbooks!!!!

One of my other HS mom's showed me a FANTASTIC site. Reading and Writing Workbooks by Scott Foresman.

Consonant Blends & Phonics

We are working on consonant blends with my youngest, Xman. There are a few free lapbooks available online -

Homeschool Helper - Phonics Lapbook 1
Scribd - My Consonants Lapbook
Lapbook Lessons - Phonics Lapbooks

Games

I recently was asked about educational games. For the child who doesn't enjoy books or worksheets how can you get them to learn in fun ways? There are 2 web sites I highly recommend:

• Time4Learning.com, it's fantastic for the younger croud - all the lessons are set up like cartoon interactive games on the computer, and it's only like $20/month.
• There is also LearningPlanet.com which is similar to time4learning and it costs $39.95/year.

 

Otherwise some of the great free websites I've used are as follows:

 

 The Kids Page

 Funschool at Kaboose

 Gamequarium

 Prongo
