Feature #16: Seussville



Seussville (www.seussville.com) is a website dedicated to sharing the works of Dr. Seuss and guiding parents/educators to incorporate his books into lesson plans throughout the year. Based on the age groups selection, the resources found on this website cater to children of ages baby to twelve; however, there, you will also find books suited for young adults. Throughout the website, you will find games, activities, and printables to use at home and in your classroom.

While the website offers a range of resources for all content, the focus of Seussville is to engage children in reading Dr. Seuss’s books. When navigating the website, you will see tabs leading to the books and their famous characters. Through this experience, children can immerse themselves into the world of Dr. Seuss’s. While the website does not offer free access to the book themselves, the digital resources such as activities and printables are. You can access these resources by clicking on the tabs, Parents, and Educators at the top of the website. There, you will find printable literacy activities for writing and word skills.  In the Parents section, you will find guides that you can use to enhance the learning experience with your children or younger relatives, such as using rhymes, wordplay, and nonsense words.

While the majority of the resources in Seussville do not provide articles or resources that directly teach literacy, it sets the environment for learning for children. The fun activities will captivate the attention of the young learners and allow them to be immersed in the learning process. Children's experiences with the activities on this website can help create the mindset that learning literacy is fun.
