My DS goes to kindergarten this fall and I want to try to do extra stuff at home to prepare. Any good websites or games to look at (such as for sight words)? Thanks!
I bought a sight word bingo game that DD loves from Amazon. I think they have one at preschool, too. You could very easily make one, but I have a newborn so I'm taking shortcuts wherever I can, lol.
Google "dolch words" for lists of words broken down by reading level. I couldn't find the one that I printed a few months ago (it had nice and neat layout) or I would have put a direct link. You might even find some that have printable flashcards.
If your looking for websites try PBS kids and ABC mouse. Also DD and I do work books a lot, the kind where you trace the letters, find the differences in the pictures, etc..
I would actually start with basic phonics sounds. The starfall website the PP posted is actually one of the best places to start with letter sounds. I started with DD with short vowel sounds, then consonants. With those your child can start sounding out s
