Smiley loves the alphabet. And why not? It's a song! It is illustrated as the "words" in two of his books! It is the theme of a most wonderful wordless book. It's a wood puzzle! It can be used to measure time!
So I wondered if I could find any online flash games about letter identification or other early alphabet skills.
I found a big list of them from the Utah Education Network.
His favorite is Alpha Bricks, which has cute pictures but annoying music, and lets him pick the spoken letter from 3 choices. He only has trouble with J and L.
He also likes Boowa Flash Cards, a simpler, quieter version of the previous game in which he picks the spoken letter from 4 choices.
Not as popular, but still okay, is Kangaroos at Paw Park, which involves matching upper and lower case from 4 choices.
Quite different is Big Bird's Letters and Elmo's Keyboard-O-Rama. He gets to press any letter key on the keyboard to see the letter and a picture. This can be fun too.
Similar but much more funky is Bembo's Zoo, where he can press any letter key on the keyboard to see a trippy animation involving the letter.
Anyone else know of other good ones?

Didn't check the list but this is our all time favorite: http://www.literacycenter.net/ (the kids even used it to learn some Spanish.)
Also, if you have Linux on a machine then GCompris is Issac's favorite. (The probably have a windows version but not sure.)
