Looking for some great sites to help your kiddos get extra practice with reading, spelling, writing, and grammar? These are some of our favorite sites offering interactive Language Arts games and activities. The best part is that they are all free and require no subscription!
1. Not just for math! Cool Math now has a page with 12 games that involve the manipulation of words and letters. It is even fun for adults! We would recommend most of their games for ages 8-?.
2. The ReadWriteThink offers a TON of interactive reading and writing activities that are filtered by grade levels (K-12). A favorite of ours (and the kids) is the Comic Creator where students have the opportunity to compose their own comic strips for a variety of contexts (prewriting, pre- and postreading activities, response to literature, and so on).
3. For the younger children, Starfall is an amazing site, helping to teach children to read with phonics. It is perfect for preschoolers through second grade, but could also be used for special education and English language development.
4. Free Rice has interactive quizzes on vocabulary and grammar. The really cool thing is that for every correct answer, 10 grains of rice are donated through the World Food Programme to help end world hunger. Probably best for 4th grade and up.
5. FunBrain has some really fun reading and grammar games. It also has web-version books and comics to read online, and madlibs. Kids love this site! (Bonus stuff with under $4/month membership-not needed for the standard stuff)
6. Fun English has great games on several topics including reading, writing, grammar, spelling, poetry, debating, punctuation, dictionary use, sentence structure and much more.
7. This site has interactives for several subjects. Language interactives include: Elements of a Story (gr.2-5), Historical & Cultural Contexts (gr.9-12), Literature (gr.9-12), and Spelling Bee (gr.1-12).
8. ABCya has wonderful computer games and activities for students in Kindergarten-5th grade. Everything is organized by grade level. We love the easy navigation and voice instructions!
9. Sheppard Software's Language Arts page features a variety of games for different
grade levels. For Elementary students, there are grammar and punctuation games. For Middle School, High School, and adults, there are SAT and advanced vocabulary games. High Schoolers and adults can learn medical and computer terminology through games. Plus, there are word games for all ages!
10. So Cool!! My Story Maker guides the student through writing and illustrating their own story book. It is so-o-o-o much fun!!
