A free online games site designed mainly for preschool children, but I have found that older kids enjoy it too, and even some adults! Lots of fun, colourful characters, easy to play games, big, clear and simple images and things to be learned along the way.
Alphabetimals
October 24, 2010 -- From Patrick, a reader from Aarhus, Denmark, who is affiliated with the site.
The Alphabetimals are cartoon animals shaped like the letters of the alphabet to help kids learn their ABCs. On the site is a free interactive book with each character animated, and options to hear their animal sound and their name spoken. I also have a business partnership with Books for Africa, a U.S. organization that sends millions of books a year to African villages that don’t have access to school supplies. On my website I have three items for purchase – a coloring book PDF download, a wall poster, and t-shirts. Every time someone buys one of these gifts, the Alphabetimals will send one book on their behalf to the Botswana Book Project (one of the recipients of the Book for Africa project) which distributes book to villages around wildlife preservations in that country.

This site is super fun for preschoolers learning how to read! It has stories, games, and even finger play videos. My son was engaged with the site for over an hour. Best of all, there is no advertising. The site was created by Reading is Fundamental. Five stars all the way!
