Free Phonics from ReadingBear.org

I've had several early education teachers reach out to me about phonics lessons for students. I've recently discovered Readingbear.org and I believe for many of these teachers it may fit the bill. 

As stated on their site,

Reading Bear, a project of WatchKnowLearn.org, is the first free program online to teach beginning readers vocabulary and concepts while systematically introducing all the main phonetic patterns of written English, all using innovative rich media. 

The site has 50 presentations (with more being planned) which offer several viewing options. Reading Bear can be used on computers, laptops, and iPads if using the Puffin Browser.

After a student has reviewed a letter, they can take a quiz.  You do not need an account to use the lessons, but if you have an account the results can be saved.  Teachers can create an account and then create subaccounts for their students. 

Again, this is from a free, non-profit organization and definitely worth investigating further if you are an early education teacher. This is also a great resource for parents of young children.  Give it a try and let me know in the comments what you think.
