British Council - Learn English Kids

http://www.britishcouncil.org/kids-listen-read-write.htm
Practise listening, reading and writing in English.

What is the site about?

The British Council - Learn English Kids website is about reading, writing and speaking English. It is designed for children learning English as a second language but resources may also be used by children at primary level.

Why was it chosen as site of the week?

It was chosen because:

• There is a wide selection of high-interest topics covered, such as Family and Friends, Music, Bugs, Pets, School, Food, etc
• It is broken down into seven sections, namely, Games, Print and Do, Songs, Stories, Listen Read Write, Topics and Parents
• Resources are marked according to language difficulty, i.e simple or more difficult
• It caters for all primary classes but has a very good under seven section
• Activites on the site may also be used to motivate reluctant readers

How can it be used as an educational resource?

This site is ideal for both integrating lessons on various topics or enabling students to complete reading and writing acitivities online and at their own pace.

Internet access permitting, children can read a story (appropriate to their ability) in the story section and complete the acitivites either in pairs or individually.

They can choose a topic of interest and complete the corresponding online and offline activities.
