I spent quite a bit of time this morning reviewing Professor Garfield. And, yes, the cartoon character, Garfield, is the “host” of this web site. At fist sight, one sees that it is extremely Viagra Jelly colorful and filled with all kinds of up tempo sounds that kids are sure to enjoy. While the music and sounds that accompany this site are Brand Levitra such, I think that they would become bothersome to some children (and adults) who have a sensitivity to sounds. Yet, sound can be toggled on and off. There is so much to experience on this site, that I would be careful to introduce each component to students one at a time so that together we could fully explore the wealth contained in this site.
Transport to Reading for the younger students focuses on phonics, phonemic awareness, fluency and comprehension. Eleven comic books can be found in the Toon Book Reader section. Students have the option of listening to them being read or reading them to themselves. For sequencing, one may decide to use Reading Ring. G-Cubed is a fun trivia game for older elementary student in which students can play against another student or Professor Garfield himself.
There is much more to this web site than what I’ve covered. I encourage you to look at the site map. It gives a brief description of each component and the suggested grade levels. Finally, having an interactive white board to present the various components of this site to students would be very advantageous.
Since this is such a dense site, it is imperative that teachers preview this site and have a plan of action when using it. Remember to share this with the students’ parents as well!
This is a definite keeper for me. I’m sure my little geniuses will love it, too! Your evaluation of Professor Garfield is appreciated.
