Is there something which isn't american voices and does the letter sound with the lower case letter?

Education city is pretty good. It is a site that you need to sunscribe too but you can get a free 10 day trial.

rydercup- thanks for that,was just registering for free trial and was asked who recommended it to me.
If you have a "tell a friend" code we both get 3 months free subscription.

If you are registered ,do you want to give me the code?

We love Starfall - even though it is American! Have you had a look at the BBC website? Lots of good stuff there. Or there's always Club Penguin!

have been looking at education city which looks great.
ds really liked starfall when I showed him it to him,he didn't even notice the us accent.

I was looking on the bbc schools page which looks great , but there seems to be lots for yr2 ,not much for reception age.He loved playing a game putting the full stops in the right place but pointless really as I was having to read it to him.
