I came across a website I have used a lot in the past on the SmartBoard to help my students with their reading skills. How many of you have heard of DIBELS INTERVENTIONS ELECTRIFIED (http://www.teachers.cr.k12.de.us/~galgano/dibel2.htm)? This site has games divided according letter recognition, rhyme, making words, and letter sounds. This is a great way to have an interactive lesson while brushing up on early literacy skills. CHECK IT OUT!
