Site of the Day for Monday, April 14, 2014 Super Simple Learning Today's site, from a commercial enterprise, offers an introduction to their highly regarded range of learning tools for young children. Gentle Subscribers will find not only educational supplies for sale but a helpful variety of free resources. "Super Simple Learning began in the classroom when, as teachers, we noticed that even the most basic children's songs were sometimes too difficult in many traditional recordings. We saw that when songs were too fast, too lyrically complex, or too difficult ... many young learners would simply tune out. ... Simple features ... make the songs attractive to young emerging speakers everywhere (native English speaking toddlers, special needs students, and children with speech and hearing difficulties)." - from the website Although intended primarily as a gateway for online purchases, the site extols the advantages and successes of its learning approach, as well as providing free supplemental tools. Flashcards, ABC worksheets, coloring pages and crafts, along with online phonics games are available, while the Get in Touch link to YouTube at the bottom of the page leads to the program's collection of videos. These include their unforgettable version of "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" whose counter indicates an eye-opening, but unsurprising 300 million views.
