Effective Literacy
Website #7
PBSkids.org
PBSkids.org is a nonprofit
organization that offers kids a fun and educational website. This website allows students to use
technology to strengthen their knowledge, improve their critical thinking
skills and encourages them to use their imagination. This website helps teachers and parents to improve
the student’s educational and social skills and get them ready for school and
the world around them.
This website touches
on all educational subjects including reading, language, math, science, social
studies and health, just to name a few.
The science games and activities allow the students to be inventors and
to use their senses. For social studies it
allows the students to explore the world they live in by using the globe and
navigation system. PBSkids has over a 100 different games that are free and
easy to access.
This website also has
many TV shows that encourage learning and does not only make it fun for the kids
but for their parents as well. Parents
can enjoy watching an engaging and creative PBSkids TV shows that strengthens
their child’s skills. For example, PBS
WordGirl encourages kids to improve their use of words and vocabulary. In one episode I heard the words vigor, encouraging, modest and discouraging in
less than three minutes, how amazing is that?
