Reinforce basic literacy skills through interactive activities that involve letter and numeral writing, word recognition, color, and shape. Early elementary students will enjoy the variety of games and activities that work best as supplements to offline instruction in the classroom or at home. Available in English, Spanish, French, and German.
In the Classroom
Though it may seem simplistic, this would make a really great resource for an ELL classroom or a basic Spanish, French or German class. Use the alphabet section as a learning center on classroom computers, allowing them to practice pronunciation and mimic what they are hearing on the site. This would be helpful for students who are auditory learners, and just need more practice with some of the basics. Make sure to include headphones on this site, insuring that students don't disturb others around them.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

Don't know what to do with your data? Select from five different graphs and charts to create a visual representation of your data that meets your needs. Efficient organization provides an easy interface. Customize the design with the many available features after selecting your graph. Insert your data into the boxes provided and customize your labels. Preview your graph and go back to make changes. View your data in all five graph options to provide the best visual representation of your information. Tabs to provide help and examples for each menu item while creating your graph provide a great resource. Print your graph, download it in six different formats, or share it with a link sent to an email address. This tool tops the charts. Email not required, but needed to receive the URL for your graph if you select that option.
In the Classroom
After collecting data as a class create a graph together on your interactive whiteboard or projector. Switch between all five options to show the students how the same data can be represented in different visual formats. Which graph is the best graph to represent your data? Discuss how advertisers use graphs to influence consumers. Students can collect their own data to graph. Post graphs for students to view and analyze. Have cooperative learning groups write questions for peers to analyze their graph. Graph results from science experiments or student polls in any subject area. Create simple graphs for even the youngest students to practice reading data.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member
