e-Learning 4Kids offers a site for parents, educators and children to find learning games for children from 5-12. The site has free courses for children globally. The educational games can be played in five languages. The subjects offered are Math, Science, Language Arts, Health & Life Skills, English language, and Computer Skills. Teachers can individualize instruction for each child in the classroom, focusing on the skills they need to work on for mastery.
The games are colorful, with animated characters that learners will find interesting. The characters speak clearly and at a rate the students can hear and understand. Each subject is broken down into specific skills, so a tailored program can be selected for individual learners.
I would use this program in my classroom for students to rotate through at center time. I have students that can read, so they could work on programs such as Pronouns, Similar & Opposite Words, and Finishing a Story. For my learners with no prior school experience, they could work programs such as Learning Letters and About Printed Books. There is truly something for all learners at this site.
Because no software is needed, I could also suggest this site to parents for their children to work on at home or at the library. Because of the age range of the games, parents could also find useful games for siblings as well.
Each year I have learners that come through my doors that do not speak English. Usually they feel scared and isolated while they learn English and are able to speak to other learners. They would find it a comfort to be able to work on games in their first language or practice the English Language games to help accelerate their learning.
The motto of e-Learning for kids is Opening Doors to Education Worldwide. If you would like to learn more or view a YouTube video from CNBC please visit this site.

Is it or can it be used to "teach" a new language to a class of students?
