Title: Know any Good Children's Educational Site's Post by: Jules on May 28, 2007, 03:43:40 PM Can you let me know of any good kids site's for my Georgia. She is eight years old.
Her teacher said she can use the sites for her "reading activities etc". I am trying to get her to go on better sites, than "bratz and nickelodeon". So far I have got her interested in the Australian National Geographic site. Can you recommend any, she likes science as well.

Certainly some of the articles would be a bit advanced for an 8-year-old, heck, some of them are a bit advanced for a 40-year-old, but they do have articles and activities that are designed for kids about that age. It is rather US-centric, though.
