On this site one will find many engaging activities, plus curriculums for states and countries all over the world! A down fall may be the curriculum on this site may not match up to the one provided by your school, but maybe you can find a new idea! Rating: =/
 * SMART Board**

[] This website from World Book Encyclopedia is awesome for students to use when they are researching a topic. I have found it easy to navigate and very versatile. There are the encyclopedia entries, pictures, videos, maps, and much more. The only drawback is that you must purchase a subscription. Rating: =/
 * Student Research**

[] The website, owned by Forvo Media SL, offers the pronunciation of thousands of words in several languages. The concept is great, and it offers a service to both the teacher and student when saying not only English but also foreign words. The site can be confusing, and it is hard to locate the words you are looking to have said. I found the idea to be useful but the site difficult to navigate. Rating: =/
 * Help with Pronunciation**

[] This site has been a dream come true for me this year. Teachers can save their spelling lists to the username they create and students can then practice their spelling words at home or at school playing games that the site creates personalized to your words. Several of the games can be printed out, so families that do not have computers at home can still take part. There is an option to subscribe to the site for a fee, which then allows students to take their spelling tests online, with the results being sent directly to the teacher. Rating: =)
 * Spelling and Vocabulary**

__http://www.starfall.com/__ Looking for a good primary site? This site is geared toward preschool through second grade. It starts by learning basic letters and sounds through games. Next it moves into word families, read alouds to the student, and continues through independent reading. I have found it to be very user friendly for teachers and students. Students especially like all the animals and fun music that goes along with each activity. Rating: =)
 * Reading Using Phonics**

[|www.arcademicskillbuilders.com]  This is a excellent site for students to build upon their new and evolving skills. A visually appealing site for children to work and practice in math and language art concepts. I use this site mostly for the math practice within my classroom. Students are able to choose from a variety of exciting activities and play with multiple players. It has been very useful and engaging for all my students. Rating: = )
