Jonathon, Saw this site for the first time about two weeks ago, and see interesting applications for a tutoring or very small group instruction. I have recommended the site to our speech therapist since she often works with very small groups or one-on-one teaching the skills that are included on the site. Yes, it is a shame it's proprietary and needs a subscription to really use it, but it a good beginning for online instructional content. I did get a chuckle reading some of the sentences for the vowel sounds: "Roy likes the royal family." --- I'm not sure children in rural Virginia would understand who the "royal family" is and why someone would find it worth saying that they "like" them <grin>! Jonathon, if you haven't checked on Mrs. P's Links recently, you may want to check out some of our new links. ( http://www.geocities.com/apembert45 ) I'm adding new links every week, often faster than I can find and hook up graphics to each of them ... One site your folks may enjoy is called "Wacky Web Tales" where the user fills in words (based on parts of speech but your folks could type in any word at all), and they are inserted in a story to making an interesting and often funny, resulting tale that can be read on screen or printed. Our kids, those who know enough words to do it, love it! Anne Anne At 05:04 PM 3/17/01 -0000, Jonathan Chetwynd wrote: > http://www.elr.com.au/ What a great site.
