These are some interesting web pages that are specialised in helping students with special needs.

· Special Needs Worksheets

· StarFall: Where children have fun learning to read! : This site is good because it incorporates technology and is interactive for students. Students can click on a calendar and an audio recording will highlight and go over today’s date and the days of the week. The can read interactive books that allow them to use pictures and practice sounding out words/decoding. It asks questions and quizzes them, and also helps prompt students to the answer (i.e. the answer is highlighted or blinking). This site appeals to auditory, visual, and tactile/kinesthetic learners. It also has tutorial movies about different skills like reading left to write, vowels, memory games, making word games, and many other interactive phonics activities that feel more like playing and less like learning.
