Games for Learning

I found all of these sites from a local school's website.  Looks like these are supported by a bunch of current teachers:

Starfall - This is a great site to help reinforce ABCs, reading, writing and spelling skills.  The children love playing the games and I learned a few fun facts about American myths that I didn't know before scanning some of these stories.

SolPass - A site to help students study key curriculum standards for the SOLs.  The website has specific pages for elementary, middle and high school students.   You need a password and account to use this site but it is also possible to request a trial log-in.  Check with your local school system to see if they subscribe to this site.  It's $200 a year so you may be able to convince your school if they don't currently subscribe.

Multiplication.com really does manage to make math fun.  I played the airplane game called 'Flying High' and had a blast customizing my plane.  There are many options to choose your level and even the pacing changes.
