Prodigy English is the newest exciting learning game for elementary kids!
Community Review for Prodigy English
My Take
I like Prodigy English, but I must say that my kids are not quite as captivated by it as they were last summer when they were only playing on Prodigy Math. They like the game of Prodigy Math better, but also the newness of Prodigy in general is wearing off after 2 years, so it is not a great controlled experiment! I personally still think Prodigy is terrific -- as long as teachers don't wear the kids out by playing on it ALL the time.
How I Use It
I have used this at home this summer with my own kids, since I don't teach elementary students. They really enjoy their time on the computer, so we have a deal that they always begin their time with at least 15 minutes of Prodigy Math and then at least 15 minutes of Prodigy English. They often stay on the site much longer than required because they get involved in the game and forget that it is "schoolwork"!
