Alphabet Soup
Early childhood site with lots to offer.
Grade Level: Pre-K-2, Professional

http://www.alphabet-soup.net/

CONTENT:
Alphabet Soup offers a variety of useful ideas and activities for teachers and parents of young children. Thematic units, holiday ideas, games, and activities are available here. The site also offers ideas for teaching each letter of the alphabet.
AESTHETICS:
The site is easy to read and has minimal graphics along with the text. Banners and other ads throughout the pages are distracting. Some of the pages play music with no option to turn it off.
ORGANIZATION:
Each page of the Alphabet Soup site offers button links down the left side of each page, linking to each major section of the site. Most pages have additional text links at the bottom of the page, although some of these were not accurate links.

REVIEW:
This site contains information and ideas for the early childhood teacher or parent. Information is organized by themes such as Back to School, Apples, Insects, and Weather. In addition to the theme area, each holiday has its own page with ideas, activities, crafts, and links to e-cards that can be personalized. Printable resources are available, such as themed writing paper, bookmarks, and awards. The Parent and Teacher Resource page offers links to Alphabites, the alphabet resource section, links for parents and teachers, and to the Teacher Tools page. Teacher Tools offers many other printable activities including seasonal tracing sheets. Other pages at this site include ideas for craft and art activities, book lists by theme, humorous classroom stories, and the Kindergarten Kafe page - with recipes dictated by kindergarteners. The site also offers an opportunity to purchase personalized letters from the Tooth Fairy, various holiday characters, and special birthday letters. Although parts of this site are commercial, many valuable resources are offered here for free. This site is worth a look if you are working with young children!
