ABCya is a great combination of practicing skills and having fun

My Take

ABCya is a great website to use in education for students in Kindergarten through 5th grade. Games and activities are leveled by grade level. There are several reasons why I believe this is a great website to use in the classroom. One reason I like it so much is that many of the games have different levels. This means that students who are more advanced can choose harder levels than those who are still in the beginning levels of learning a skill. Another reason ABCya is a a great website is because the games make learning fun. Students don't even really realize they are learning or practicing a skill. My students ask over and over if they can get on ABCya because they think it is FUN. What a great combination: practicing skills and having fun! Finally, the website is so simple to use. The navigation buttons are consistent, and students quickly learn how to navigate the site. ABCya is perfect for teachers who are looking for a way for students to practice skills they have learned in the classroom. The games are engaging and are age-appropriate. ABCya does not really provide a way for students to "learn" a skill. So it is not ideal for someone who is looking for a website that will supplement curriculum. It does, however, provide activities on subjects that may not be covered in the classroom such as keyboarding and Internet safety. Basically, if you are looking for a safe website that is easy to use where students can practice skills, then ABCya is the website for you and your students.
