Learning your ABCs is the first step on the way becoming a good reader, but it’s not always as easy as 1-2-3. Here at HomeworkSpot our editors have found some fun sites that teach kids the basics of identifying letters, associating letters with words, and even spelling. And the best part is these sites are so fun and interactive that they don’t feel like work.
