I don't know of a website but
By Lottalove

Clip to ScrapBook   
there were several threads posted on this site last week about introducing all 26 letters by early Fall to facilitate reading by Christmas....is that what you meant?

I am not sure how to post previous threads but
you could probably search the archives here.

Or, maybe someone who knows how to connect to previous threads will respond as well.

I have to say that I like the idea though--even in SpEd, I find that if I drag it out too much, the kids fail to see how the letters and sounds blend easily. The letter of the week can encourage them to see the letters and sounds out of context
regarding actual reading. I am just not sure of the best approach regarding what letters to do first, etc. I think this year, I will start with the soft vowel sounds, then the most common consonants, then spiral it with lots of review as I introduce other letters and hard vowels, silent e and so on.

Good luck to you.
