Effective Literacy
Website #4
ABCya.com
ABCya is an
educational website that is created by teachers to help students strengthen
their Reading, Language and Math skills.
ABCya can be accessed through any technology tool being as small as a
cellphone or as big as a PC. This
website is easy to navigate for seven main grade levels: Pre-k, Kinder, 1st,
2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th grade
students.
The skills that
ABCya.com work on are Common Core Standards aligned, which are currently used
in GDOE. Teachers are able to click on a
game and see what standard the student will be practicing in class. ABCya has been featured in many newspaper
and article reviews talking about how wonderful ABCya is and how effective the
games are.
I personally have
used ABCya.com in my classroom and computer lab. Though it takes my student some time to get
to the website, once they are on the main site they can easily access their
grade level and the awesome games they have to offer. The first time I saw this website it was
actually shown to me by my 1st grade student.
We were in the
computer lab and we were going into another website and her computer took long
loading so she decided that she didn’t want to wait anymore and went to a site
she was familiar with, which was ABCya.com.
I was so impressed by her, I had her help her classmates go to the same
site. Since then my students have
enjoyed many of the games and activities ABCya has to offer and I encourage
others to use this site as well.
