Websites for your IT-savvy tyke




Here are some websites which you and your child might find useful in his learning:

http://www.starfall.com/
This website teaches children how to read. Has online reading games and prinatable activity pages for children to practice.


http://www.historyforkids.org/
An online encyclopedia for kids, Kidipede is an excellent source of information and great for children who have outgrown see-saws and slides. Information on this website is split into 2 categories: History and Science. Intended for slightly older children but is a good base of information for parental reading too.


http://www.kids.nationalgeographic.com/
What is a zombie snail? How do bears hunt? This website allows your child to learn about animals and watch animal videos just a click away. It is filled with many answers to the many "whys" that your child asks.


www.first-school.ws/
This website is a treasure chest of educational early childhood activities for kids aged 2 to 6.
The neat organisation of "The Alphabet", "Colours", and "Shapes" makes it very user-friendly.
Includes free lesson plans which you can use at home or if you're thinking of throwing a play-date with other Mommies, along with the list of materials needed and step-by-step instructions to craft ideas, printable activities, worksheets and coloring pages.


www.bbc.co.uk/schools/ks2bitesize
Here's a fun way to introduce primary school subjects to your tyke. There are 3 categories - English, Math and Science - each of which houses a broad range of activities accompanied with graphics and animation.
This website is good for preschool teachers, or if you're like me, a very hands-on Mom who reinforces learning at home. It presents tons of flashcards for printing, categorised under occupations, food, animals, body parts and more. A great resource for parents indeed.


Abstracted from Young Parents magazine to keep an online bookmark in case I lose the mag, as well as to share with like-minded Mommies.
