A rough count tells me I now have over 200 resources bookmarked with a view to writing blog posts. No wonder I’m tempted to feel overwhelmed sometimes. Today I’m going to write about a website that I’ve had bookmarked for quite a while.

I’m sorry to say that it looks like this resource has been removed and is no longer available.

Kindersay describes itself as, “…a free online video website designed to help preschool kids & English as Second Language (ESL) children learn English words. Over 500 online activities are available in a special Word Show format.” The consistent format shown below is helpful because young learners easily learn and then know what to expect.

There are 15 categories of words to choose from, including alphabet, animals, food, parts of the body. The entry for each word consists of a simple photo that is accompanied by the pronunciation of the word in a very clearly spoken voice. For registered (free) users, Kindersay includes the opportunity to upload photos of family members and other individuals who may have special significance to the learner.

I can not find Kindersay. The link takes you to SoCal Surplus. Is there a new address?

My apologies to anyone who has tried in vain to find Kindersay. I have no idea what has happened, but it is clear that Kindersay is no longer available. –Paul
