Here are some fun digital websites and apps that I used to help enhance learning for preschool students. Of course, it is important for young children to learn primarily through play and hands-on activity. However, some occasion educational technology can help to supplement the learning that is happening at home and in the classroom. Click on each title to take you to the website.
1. STORYTIME ONLINE
Children's books read by different celebrities! Of course, having your parents read to you is number one on a child's list, it is still fun to see someone else doing a read-aloud. Especially when it is Oprah Winfrey or Betty White!

6. GONOODLE
My students LOVE GoNoodle! It has been a lifesaver on a rainy day when we are not able to play outside. It inspires children to move by offering dance and movement videos like Kids Bop and Zumba kids. My students love dancing along with fun songs and coordinated movements. GoNoodle also offers videos that help with calming, breathing exercises and mindfulness.

7. STARFALL
Starfall offers interactive learning activities for elementary-aged students, but many of the activities on the Kindergarten page can be done by younger children. The website is designed to make it easy for young children to use more independently. There is also an app to use on tablets as well.
