Anyone know a web site for teaching letter recognition (sounds) ?

My 4 yr old is having difficulty learning the letter sounds.

He loves doing the exercises on rain forest maths and I wondered if anyone knows a similar site for teaching letters?

We got some flashcards (kipper ones) dd2 loves these, and seems to help alot.
No website recommendation though. Will keep watching thread incase anyone does have one.

Try www.starfall.com. It is American, so some of the pronunciation is a bit different, and it introduces letter names at the same time, I think, but both my boys liked it when they were first learning to read.

Have a look at the phonic sounds presentation here (scroll down):

www.readwriteinc.com/page12.html

or, go to www.phonicsinternational.com and register for the first FREE unit (no obligation) and you'll find masses of resources to teach the sounds and letters at home.

www.bbc.co.uk/cbeebies/fullscreen/music/animalabc.shtml

This page on CBeebies is good. It has a song with the letter sounds and corresponding letters on the screen. It also has matching games etc.
