Book Adventure -
This website is a
reading motivation program for children in grades K-8. Children create their own
book lists from over 6,000 recommended titles, take multiple choice quizzes on
the books they've read offline, and earn points and prizes for their literary
successes. The challenge will be to keep them off Funology long enough to get the
benefits from this website.

Funology - This website has it
all: educational games, brain teasers, puzzles, quizzes, healthy recipes, riddles,
downloadable images, magic tricks, and more. It also has science projects and experiments
to try and rates children's products. However, the pop-up ads are annoying.

|
Brain Quest -
This website has educational games and puzzles that make learning fun. The biggest
hit is the Brain Quest game which asks the student math, language, science, social
studies at their skill level. It includes accurate facts and is easy to use.
Unfortunately, it lacks variety and is limited in its educational scope.

Yahooligans -
The primary function of this website is a search engine for children. It
also includes games, references, science, jokes, news, and other areas of
interest for children. The search engine is terrific in that it weeds out
all the nonsense and helps students and teachers get to valuable content
quickly. No negatives to report.
|
|
Enchanted Learning -
This website has some great content: activities, crafts, reference
sources, nursery rhymes, and perhaps the most valued content, an accurate, full collection of
information suitable to students on many common themes. What brings the site down is the
terribly unorganized, scattered, ugly layout of the website.

|
Fun Brain -
This website is a great one for teachers to use to organize their curriculum and
post spelling and other tests for students. It also has math and grammar games that
are kind of fun but need some work. It's a little disorganized and has little other than
math and language.
|
|
Fun School -
This website rocks. It offers educational games and activities, trivia,
crafts, links to other good sites, clip art, puzzles, and more. It's organized
by grade and the most popular content. It's very colorful and easy to use. The
advertising portrays violence and is redundant and obnoxious.
