Kids Around the World would best be suited for younger children. The website could be a good introduction to how different children around their same age are in their lives. A teacher could have a lesson on different areas of the world and assign each area to a group of students. After each group of students completes their research on their country they could then talk about what they had learned to the other students.

This is a unique and modern approach to the book report. This website could be used either by a teacher requiring as part of their curriculum or possibly as extra credit. The students would be able to see and read other students reviews which in turn might then help to inspire them to read and review books.

Bookadventure is a website sponsored by Sylvan learning center. It covers grades k-8. The website allows students to choose a book and read it. Once they are done reading the book, they can then take a quiz to try and earn points. With the points that they earn from the quizzes they can use for prizes. This would be a great way to get students motivated and excited to put more into their reading.

For children to have a good understanding of what they read it is important for them to know how to write correctly.

Storyline online is supported by the Screen Actors Guild and could be used with early childhood students. Members of the SAG actually will read the book that is picked by the student online. This could be a great way for students to have stories read to them if they had free time in class. The students could possibly get an appreciation for the stories being read to them when they know that they are famous!

Primary games is centered around an early childhood curriculum. Once at the website, under the language arts icon there are various word building games for students to interact with. Another nice feature the website offers are videos that show examples of how parents can help boost their own childrens language skills. This would be a good website to use as a reward type system for the students.

Poetry 4 kids is a wonderful website that gives the student a bright and colorful website. Once the student navigates the site they will see options from simply reading poems to creating their own poems. The age group of this website is grades three and up. There was a nice option of being able to download poems via mp3 to listen to. I think this website would be very beneficial when going over a poetry lesson.
