Many of the sites listed below could be beneficial to Pre-K to 3rd grade English Language Learners to help them learn colors, numbers, letters of the alphabet, English phonics, some basic vocabulary words in English, and about nature or weather. Several of the sites are also available in Spanish so children can do the activities using both versions of the site as a way to learn English. Most sites include audio support; those sites without audio support offer animations or pictures. Little Explorers Picture Dictionary from Enchanted Learning: Choose the language (English-Spanish, Spanish English, English-Japanese, etc.) and then click on the letter of the alphabet to see the dictionary entries for that letter. No audio on this site, but lots of pictures, diagrams to label, printouts, and activities. Some activities on the site are only available to members, but most activities are available to everyone. http://www.enchantedlearning.com/Dictionary.html Starfall: Children can practice the ABCs, try phonics activities or read and listen to decodable books that correspond to the letter combinations that have been introduced in school or read e-books designed for beginning readers. http://www.starfall.com/ Literacy Center Education Network: Choose English, Spanish, French or German. Learn upper and lowercase letters, shapes, colors, numbers, etc. http://www.literacycenter.net/ Five Hungry Crocodiles: Narrated short poem where students choose the correct color fish for the crocodile to eat; also available in Spanish (see below) http://www.storyplace.org/preschool/activities/5hungrycrocs.asp Cinco Cocodrilos Hambrientos: Above site, but in Spanish. http://www.storyplace.org/sp/preschool/activities/5hungrycrocs.asp Color the Rainbow: Frog narrates a rhyming poem about guessing the colors of the rainbow. http://www.storyplace.org/preschool/activities/colorstory.asp What Color Is It?: Narrated interactive activity in which students must choose the correct color of various objects. Also available in Spanish (see below). http://www.storyplace.org/preschool/activities/coloractivity.asp Que Color Es?: Same as above, but in Spanish http://www.storyplace.org/sp/preschool/activities/colorstory.asp?themeid=3 Priory Woods: Bugz - Counting Spots: Count the spots on the ladybug and select the correct number using the mouse, keyboard or touchscreen. http://www.priorywoods.middlesbrough.sch.uk/previews/bugz.htm Priory Woods: Animated Counting Songs: Songs include 5 Little Snowmen, 10 Fat Sausages, 5 Little Ducks, 5 Naughty Monkeys, and 5 Speckled Frogs. http://www.priorywoods.middlesbrough.sch.uk/kidsonly/findout/counting/index.htm Fishy Count: Click Start to begin. Then count the fish and choose the shell with the correct number. Gives corrective feedback and shows how to count the fish if the incorrect number is chosen. http://www.primarygames.com/math/fishycount/start.htm A Walk in the Woods: Site for kids from the University of Illinois Extension is a narrated slideshow that shows the text of the narration on the screen and pictures of a walk in the woods, also in Spanish; if you click on the Index link you can start anywhere in the slideshow. Requires Flash. http://www.urbanext.uiuc.edu/woods/ What is Weather?: Site from the BBC with animations to help students understand the basic vocabulary about the weather. http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/whatisweather/home.shtml Hope this helps.
