www.scholastickids.com
This site would be used by 5th and up. There are books, authors and videos. The site was interesting and would keep there interest and help in the researching for book reports.

This was an interesting site. I liked that there are books that can be printed off. There are lessons on mapreading, wish I'd had that one in school. Also there are games to play, printouts and poems. The one drawback in that there is a $20 fee for the year.

a student can find book reviews, get magazine articles, play games, watch videos along with homework help. There is alot to this site, teachers should recommend it to their students.

This is a great website for kids, they can pick and choose almost anything. The site leads you to many kid sites such as one that teaches how cartoon animation. A teenager made the tutorials and I was impressed. Pretty cool

www.squiglysplayhouse.com
This is a great free site and could be used in the classroom or at home for entertainment. There are many games and no sign in. The kids would need no help to sign into this one and would become a favorite.

This is a pretty great site but you must log in or you can't get in, this was frustrating to me. If I wasn't just looking it would have been ok though if I used it alot. This site is an online virtual world, engaging and fun for the ages of 3-10. The goal is for this group to master school life and make it easier.

This site had stories that were told in song and voice reading. There is games and a lot of free stuff. However, you can only get a free 14 day trial. I did not like this as there are alot of sites that are free and this one didn't really hold my interest for long. There was also nothing to do while waiting for the story to load.
