PROFESSIONAL COMMENTARY

The Literacy Center features web-based interactive literacy activities for preschool-aged children. Designed to support early reading skills, the activities provide opportunities for children to learn colors and color words, letters, numbers, phonemes, shapes, writing, and high frequency words. Teachers or parents may select activities in Spanish, French, or Dutch for children who do not speak English as a first language. All exercises require the Flash Player 5 plug-in; a free download of this plug-in may be accessed at the website. While these online activities may reinforce important early literacy skills, each online lesson must be supported by appropriate offline instruction, either at home or in school. (author/ncl)
