REVIEW:
This site provides excellent activities and work sheets for all areas of language arts and math for grades K-8. For example, the K-2 Language Arts section has online activities covering the alphabet, phonics, reading and writing, spelling, and vocabulary. The activities include a memory game for matching uppercase and lowercase letters, a fill-in-the-blank activity for word family review, and a find-the-missing letters activity for spelling. You must have Shockwave for the activities and a fast connection is preferred. Math activities go from number recognition to basic algebra and cover number sense, time, money, and basic facts. Activities appear to be entertaining and grade-appropriate. In most cases, a link to printer-friendly pages is available for the printable activities. The section called Mindtwisters presents logic and critical-thinking problems.
