Social Studies and English Websites

Yahooligans
This is a popular wesite with kids and schools alike. It has categories of pictures, sounds and video. It is also broken into subjects. This is an attractive page to students and parents alike.

Awesome Library
This website is great because it is quick and easy to find information by subject. I would only reccomend this website for older students because of the simplistic nature of it and that it links to long papers not geared towards younger kids.

PrimaryGames.com
This is a website with social studies games. These games range from guess that flag, name that state and name that president. These games are good for extra time fillers and free time games that are learning games.

PBS
PBS is always a good place to go for information. The site has a search tool for all grades and all subjects. This particular page is their social studies page. There is any and everything you could think of from teacher resources to kid places.

KidLit
This website is all about childrens literature. The one feature that I like the most about this website is the area that features childrens poems under poetry. This can help enspire kids to write and read poetry.

Hubbard's Cupboard
This website is very kid friendly and has lots of resources. I liked to the resoures page because I thought the best part of the site was childrens author page. This page links to websites about different authors.

International Children's Digital Library
I use this site again because it is a great resource for both digital books and books in general. The library has a great search engine that can be used for any books on and off the site.

Kidsread.com
This website features series, authors, games and trivia. The best thing I saw about this website is the trivia part. With each activity that is attached to a book they actually show the book cover next to the trivia so the students get the link between the web and the book.
