It's never too early to start exposing your baby to the alphabet and reading! Studies have shown that the earlier you begin reading to your child and exposing him or her to more vocabulary, the faster the child will learn when he or she eventually starts schooling.

Starfall.com offers free online learn-to-read games and other learning activities. There are dozens of interactive learning activities to choose from, all very professionally done.

I particularly like the ABCs interactive section, it is perfect for playing along with baby or toddlers! There is also a hand signing section!

The site also has lots of fun stuff like building a gingerbread man. There is also a downloads section with lots more great learning printouts.

Primarily designed for first grade, Starfall is also useful for pre-kindergarten, kindergarten and second grade, and perfect for homeschooling.

This site is recognized and highly rated by The Reading Teacher named Starfall.com one of "Five Internet sites too good to miss" (May 2006). In 2005 and again in 2008, Homeschool.com recognized Starfall as one of their top five educational websites.
