The fifth website that I chose to explore is LearnEnglish Kids. I chose this website because there are useful features, activities and resources for ELL students. It targets students with different learning capabilities since there are sections for kinesthetic learners, visual learners, tactile learners, and auditory learners.  By exploring more details about this website, I found that it offers great features for learning English. These sections include games, videos, poems/chants, Read and write, speak and spell, grammar and vocabulary, printouts, and interesting topics.
In the game section, students will have fun playing games by reading the instructions given and have fun playing and practicing English. In the grammar section, students can learn grammar rules and play games to help them understand. There are also printouts activities, tests, and reference cards to help them learn and remember. In the poem/chant section, students will listen to chants which helps with grammar. There are fun chants to hear how grammar is used. They will also have chance to listen to poems which helps them improve their pronunciation and think about different topics. In the Read and Write section, students practice their reading and writing in English by selecting interesting topics. Printouts and games are attached to each section they wish to explore.
In the printout sections, teachers can printout craft and colouring activities that is also engaging for these types of learners. This tool has great colouring pages to have fun practicing English vocabulary. There are pictures for many different topics including people, places, and different times of the year.  It is engaging for the tactile learners or those that enjoy making things.  This site also offers parents’ tutorial. If a parent is not sure about what to teach to a child in English, they can search on hundreds of free online English games, songs, stories, and activities on this site and find useful information. They can also find out about courses offered at their teaching centers.
Overall, this is a great website for ELL students and I recommend that ELL teachers and students should visit this website since it offers free learning tools that will definitely engaging for all learners.
