(Elementary) "I haven't shown
this web site to a primary teacher that hasn't continued using it
in some capacity. the site is simple to navigate and is aimed at
the primary set--a group that is often neglected when it comes to
web sites. Introduction and reinforcement of letter sounds,
beginning reader activities, calendar activities and just about
every holiday is covered at this web site." --Renee Kopf & Pam

Writing Fix
"A self-proclaimed 'One of a kind
site aimed at sparking the imagination of writers, teachers and
students.' I love the interactive writing prompt area at the bottom
of the home page. Along the left side of the page you will find
writing prompts aimed at the six traits of writing and word games
to spark imagination for writing. This is a site that teachers keep
going back to (and they often take their students along for the
ride) again and again." --Renee Kopf & Pam Krambeck, NETA News
