What is Arcademic Skill Builders?
Academic Skill Builders is a tool that helps children with math, language arts, and geography by having them play online computer games. The students have the option to complete math problems, match words with their part of speech, complete words by spelling the word out correctly, use verbs and vowels correctly, and match the correct capital to the state that it is a part of in couple of the games or the correct capital to the correct country in another one of the games. This tool is pretty safe, but the student may be playing against an unknown student.
An example of one of the math games is
