Highlights Kids

Remember the magazines, Highlights Kids? Well, here is an interactive website with activities, games, jokes and more! There are even podcasts and videos to listen to.

ABCya.com

This is a super user-friendly website that has the games grouped by grade level and then again by subject matter (letters, numbers, holiday, strategy and skill). I absolutely love all of the games on this site and your students are finding some of their own favourites as well. 

RAZ Kids

This is a website designed to have students read for "stars". As they read more and more books, they get more stars, that they can "spend" on their "reading rocket". The books get more difficult as the students progress through the lettered levels.

 

Each of your students has their own log in, but you need to type "cgoruk" or "eprobe" or "cpackard2" or "srodeback" in the text box that comes up. Once you've done this once, your computer should remember me. Then please click on your student's name. Each of your students have their own password, that will be coming home with them soon.

 

There is also a super easy app that your students can use as well.

Math Prodigy

The engaging, curriculum-aligned math platform loved by over 50 million students, teachers and admins. No cost, ever. Your teachers will be sending log in information shortly.
