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.
