Sheppard Software Review by Christine Hindle

This is a free website of learning games. There is a resource here for nearly every subject and every age group. There are preschool games about colors, numbers, letters, animals, etc. Under grammar there are games about punctuation, capitalization, the parts of speech, etc. Then there are vocabulary games. There are many math games--from counting, money, and time all the way to pre-Algebra. There are different levels of geography games to help you learn the countries and capitals of the world and the U.S. states and capitals of the United States. There are science and history quizzes and health games. I was amazed at the number and range of these learning games.
I consider myself a whiz at states and capitals, so I quizzed myself (and embarrassed myself on the first round). Of course, this became a challenge so I played a second round and came out a little better. Feeling confident, I went for the geography of Europe where I recently lived and traveled for 6 years. I really need to brush up! Clearly, I need to let my granddaughter play these games because she will need to be a little better at this than I am. I am thrilled to have this resource to make it interesting for her.
I intend to use the grammar games and the geography games heavily with my older granddaughter and the math and alphabet games with my younger granddaughter this year. What a wonderful resource this is! I highly recommend it. This is a free resource, and I will just say the quality of it would make it worth paying a subscription if it were not free.
