The best site to practice skills for kindergarten students is Boom™ Learning. Kindergarten students, especially, need engaging activities to learn and practice skills. They need a lot of time to develop all skills…reading, writing, math, thinking…and self checking activities make the learning happen seamlessly because there is less chance to learn incorrectly.
Why this app is the best site to practice skills for kindergarten?
Because it is free for teachers, it’s self checking, and it’s fun! Check out a preview of a Sight Word Game HERE.

What are Boom™ cards?
Boom Cards are digital, self-checking, and interactive task cards designed for education, played on tablets, laptops, and interactive whiteboards. These no-prep, gamified cards provide instant feedback to students and detailed progress reporting for educators, making them ideal for independent work, skill reinforcement, and special education needs.
It is platform where you will have a student log on and you create or purchase educational activities. They are interactive, fun and easy to use BUT the part that I love the most is that they are self checking.

I use these during center time, free choice time, and home learning. They are an easy, no prep way to help all students learn and practice skills. The decks are set to only give 20 cards during a play session, so kiddos don’t get bored.
Students don’t have the chance to learn something incorrectly. Of course this helps with learning. Check out Brain Research and Learning.

In case you are interested, here are a few of my favorite game. Click the pictures to try the FREE preview.
The letter name is said as soon as the card is turned. I love only having 2 choices for kiddos that are just beginning to learn the name of the letters.
The sight word is said as soon as the card is turned. Only having 2 choices is perfect for beginning learners. Many of the cards have the answers close so kiddos have to look through the words to find the correct answer.
Perfect for practicing blending. The sloth says the phonemes slowly. Students must blend the sounds to find the correct picture. Perfect for nonreaders or for kiddos that need phonological awareness help.
These are perfect for sight word practice. The word is said as soon as the card changes.
Perfect math counting and numeral recognition.

These are perfect math facts practice to help kiddos develop math facts fluency.
