ABCYA Review

ABCYA- http://www.abcya.com
Various Educational Games for Kids




Price
Free

Grades
K-5

Subjects
Math
Language Arts

Pros
It is very interactive and keeps students engaged.

Cons
There are a lot of “not educational” games students can play.

Bottom Line
A great tool for students if they are supervised and on task.

My Thoughts on ABCYA:
I really like this website because not only does it line up with standards but it offers various subjects and grades on one website. This is one of the reasons why I would use it in my classroom. I would also use it because there are various levels of difficulty within each game. This allows for every student to be challenged while they’re playing.

How it Helps Students:


As a student I would be completely engrossed in this website. It is set up and looks more like a video game than an educational program. Students engaging with the game in this way will help reinforce lesson material and help students who may be struggling. The nature of the website is enjoyable for students making them want to continue to play, therefore continue learning.
