Hi,

My DS has just started reception and therefore can't yet read. He is increasingly interested in playing on the computer - he uses the cbeebies website but it is a bit boring for him now and I wonder if anyone can suggest other useful and fun websites for wee boys. He likes planes, dinosaurs, animals, trucks etc and anything that helps him learn to read would be a bonus...any suggestions gratefully received! Thanks.
