Fun site to use to teach basic grammar!

Great site! The video clips are great for teaching grammar.

If you want your students to use the internet for research, but find that sites such as Wikipedia can overwhelm students and contain too much information - then you might like to take a look at the Simple English Wikipedia. The Simple English Wikipedia uses simple English words and grammar to explain topics.  There are 70,000 articles on the site, a fraction of the 3 million articles that are on the main wikipedia page, but enough for most students. Check before you send kids towards the site that it contains the topics you want them to research. If it doesn't you could always create a page and add the information yourself - or make it a goal for the research project to write a page!

This is a wonderful writing tool and useful for teachers as a plagiarism checker. Its free, give it a try.

These Wacky Web Tales are geared for grades 3 and above.

Good for teaching 'spot the incorrect' use of the apostrophe
