Reading Bear
Reading Bear is a completely free, web-based phonics and vocabulary program that uses multimedia presentations to teach phonics patterns systematically. Kids watch and listen as words are sounded out, blended, and paired with pictures and spoken definitions, reinforcing both decoding and oral language. Created as a nonprofit project, the site is straightforward and ad-free, making it safe to hand over to early readers for short sessions. Homeschool parents like that it can supplement any phonics curriculum without adding to the budget. The design is simple and a bit dated, but the clear structure and zero cost make it a valuable extra practice tool.
