Is there a great web site for teaching kids writing?
We found a great web site for math – http://www.aleks.com/. I would like to find something equally high quality for the subjects of writing and history. The material would be for elementary school kids. Thank-you.
There’s lots of stuff on the history/social studies list of sites that I have compiled but I have yet to find any sites that are specifically for creative writing. I have found a few that concentrate on penmanship.
If you are looking for a on line curriculum with the core subjects you might try time4learning.com it is comparable to ALEKS but with all of the subjects not just math. It, like ALEKS is not free.
