Mrs. Thompson's Favorite Websites for Children and Families
Please feel free to give me feedback as to whether or
not your are using
these sites! I would also love to hear of any other
helpful educational
sites you may be aware of.
This is a fabulous reading site where primary kids can practice
learning to read, or use their acquired skills to read and
interact with the books.

Practice our spelling words with various activities on this
wonderful site! Rather than reinventing the wheel by
creating my own lists, you can:
1. Got to "Find a List"
2. Search for "Treasures"
3. A list should pop up, and then you can go to the appropriate
story for the week. (Right before spring break, we were on 4.3
Stormy Weather." There are many choices for how your child can
practice, from unscrambling the words, to "Hangmouse" to taking a
a spelling test. And....THERE IS AN APP for it if you have a
device. How great is that?
Spelling City!
