Starfall.com offers a variety of games and activities related to phonics and phonemic awareness. I believe that every person learns differently. This site offers activities and games for multiple learning styles. There are visual, auditory and logical components to this site. I believe that good teachers allow opportunities for students to learn according to their different learning styles. Many special education students struggle with reading. This site touches on the concepts of phonics and phonemic awareness, which are both key elements in developing reading fluency.

I believe that people learn best when they are actively engaged in an activity. It is a teacher’s job to find activities that actively engage his or her students and motivate them to become lifelong learners. This site allows students to participate in an interactive reading adventure. When special education students are struggling to read it can be hard for teachers to find ways to motivate students. This site allows students to practice spelling, comprehension and vocabulary skills in a fun way.

All people learn differently and it is important that we as teachers cater to all the different styles. This website accommodates visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learners. Each multiplication lesson has a visual aide for those students who learn visually. Each lesson has a multiplication related story that the students can listen to, which is best for those auditory learners. Lastly, each lesson has an activity for those kinesthetic learners who learn best by doing. As a special education teacher I will be required to work with students across a variety of content areas. This is a great math resource that will help struggling students understand their basic math facts.
