Reading Bear is a free online program that introduces letter sounds and phonetic patterns. There are 50 presentations with over 1200 vocabulary items. Each presentation can be played as a video or a slideshow introducing one to several phonics rules. Settings can be chosen for several features including pronunciation from slow to fast, audio/silent flashcards, and audio/silent sentences. The program is geared toward ages 4-7 but, can be used below and above depending on needs. Flashcards are available in PDF for download. Another great feature is subaccounts. After you register as a teacher, you can add subaccounts for your students so their data from quizzes will be stored in your account. I really like his site for beginning or struggling readers.
