ABCya - Effective Literacy Website #2 by Jackie


ABCya.com (http://www.abcya.com) is an educational game website that organizes grade level appropriate games according to subject categories for grade Pre-K to 5th grade. In addition, on each icon there is a letter or number (grade) to let you know the level for that game. The subject categories include letters, numbers, holiday, strategy, and skills games. Games include arcade-style games, word find games, racing games that can be played against other players, typing games, matching games, and more. Most games are easy for students to use without much adult or teacher assistance, the games include voice directions which make it easier for younger students to navigate. On ABCya.com most games are free for all users, users that would like ad-free use of the website or access to content unavailable to non-subscribers would have to subscribe to the ABCya.com website and follow the websites payment terms. The website is a great tool for students to work on and practice skills that they have learned in the classroom.
ABCya.com is a great way to have students actively engage in fun games and activities online on skills that they have learned in the classroom. I personally use ABCya.com with my kindergarten students. This is a great way to introduce them to the keyboard and mouse. I was very pleased that the literacy games were great resource for my students to learn how to use the mouse as well as reviewing skills that we were learning in the classroom.
Though most of them are not able to read yet, the grade level appropriate games are very self-explanatory and have voice instructions. Overall, ABCya.com is a great tool for teachers and parents of students grades Pre-K- 5th grade who want to find fun and engaging activities for their students to practice and review skills taught in the classroom.
