A great way to have fun while learning! Go to Flash Arcades and hit READING, then go to School Rules Mad Libs Junior. Hit play and do the practice in parts of speech. When you are done hit PRINT, but if any of your words are used incorrectly, try again to get more correct choices. When you have done the best you can, examine your printout. If there are any words that are not used correctly, circle those words and bring me your corrected printout and I will give you a grade for your labor. Good luck and have fun! http://www.funbrain.com
