Reading Websites for Kids

"I'm going on a website hunt.
I'm gonna find some good ones..."


Spent a rainy Sunday afternoon with my son looking for some quality (yet fun) reading websites. I want to have a good handful of sites that he can learn to use independently. This is what we found so far!
(Your suggestions are very welcomed!)
Our standard sites are - http://www.starfall.com/, http://www.pbskids.com/ but I have been informed he is ready for something a bit more interesting.



Dolch Word Games - http://www.dolchword.net/



My son especially liked the word blender -

 Phonics games for K-6

My son liked the practice with high frequency words:

  2. That's a great idea for learning and bonding with your son at the same time. My six-year-old daughter learned her alphabet and numbers through the internet. It's incredible! I don't need to hire a tutor for her basic education, which is good for our pocket.
