Alphabet Fun Printable(** for Premium Members only)

A isn’t just for apple anymore. It’s asteroid, aurora, and airplane too! Learning your ABCs on the Internet is loads of fun, because you can travel around the world as you explore from A to Z. And for those who already know their ABCs, I recommend the Retail Alphabet Game<\/a>. How many companies can you identify by a single letter from their logo?<\/p>\n

ABCya!: Preschool Word Games
\n
\nABCya! brings us thirteen letter games, including Alphabet Bubble, Alphabet Bingo, and Monster Mansion Letter Match. Of course, that’s not all. Be sure to leave time to explore all the ABCya! preschool game categories: numbers, holidays, strategy and skill.<\/p>\n

Learning Planet: Alphabet Action
\n
\nPoint and click on each letter of the alphabet to hear its name, and see a corresponding animated word. Many letters have additional pictures (C is for car and cat) available by clicking on the small blue plus. For five more alphabet and counting games, select Activities from the yellow horizontal menu, then choose Preschool – K. These free games are a teaser for the Learning Planet subscription service; games which are not clickable are available only to paying subscribers.<\/p>\n

Literacy Center: Play and Learn
\n
\nThe Literacy Center uses a modified Montessori approach to teaching reading, with a selection of four alphabet exercises, and five more for numbers, colors, and shapes. After choosing between upper and lower-case, you can click through the alphabet to see and hear each letter. Clicking on the yellow and green triangles will toggle you in and out of two different interactive activities. Although the navigation scheme isn’t at all self-explanatory, the activities themselves are first rate.<\/p>\n
