Help choose a CD-ROM for 4-7 grades!

Post by nefella » Mon Oct 02, 2006 3:12 am

Could someone recommend a good (preferably, interactive) software for teaching ESL to middle school kids? Many of the materials I have encountered are either too difficult, too boring for the kids or too culture-specific for children who are not in the US. It would be great if the software combined audio elements that dealt with vocabulary and pronunciation and elements of writing/reading, but even something less comprehensive would be fine, as long as it is actually interesting to the kids!
Thanks!

This one really is more of a free time CD ROM, but the I Spy games are fun and challenging. They can hear the names of what they are looking for, and in some of the disks, like Haunted House, they can make their own I Spy picture and write clues. These can be printed out for others to see. The kids at my school love the game and books.
