Alphablocks

Alphablocks - literacy games and videos from CBeebies

This is the website that supports the tv programme (currently airing immediately after Bob the Builder). The programme supports the phonics work at school, so ideal for reception children (ages 4/5) but the games are all 'anagram-style' and are enjoyed by children in years 2 and 3 (up to age 7).

For younger children just learning their letters or less familiar with a mouse, the games can be controlled by an adult, and each feature one of the 3 minute video segments (as aired on tv) which kids all seem to enjoy.

The 'magic e' is a particular favourite in this house (he puts on a black cloak and mask when he becomes the silent e).
