Something actually professionally related...Cool ELL websites

I found the following really cool websites for teaching English/ESL/ELL...thanks to Twitter...which I have begun to use to keep up with the professional world during my massive months of unemployment. Doubt anyone reading this will need these...but just in case...here are a few...

http://www.mingoville.com

http://www. starfall.com

http://www.strivney.com

I tried all of these out today by myself and then did the mingoville one with Steven and it was really good for him because there is whole section on colors and clothes which is what he is learning now at school.

There are things as simple as letter recognition, phonemes, sight words, etc. These sites would be great for any beginning reader, not just an ELL. So, I know there are a few SPED or elementary teachers out there reading this...these would be great for your kids (and you probably already know about them!!)!
