Great Language Arts Activities

Reading, Writing, and Listening are the three areas that make up the Language Arts. Here are some websites that will help you practice all of these areas.
* some of these games need you to have good listening ears, so make sure you put them on before you play!*

ENJOY!!!

***These sites appear to be "safe" to view. However, it's best if a parent or responsible older person is with your child when any Internet sites are visited.***
