FunBrain.com - The Internet's #1 Education Site for K-8 Kids and Teachers. (n.d.). Retrieved November 23, 2010, from http://www.funbrain.com/

This website not only contains cool games and web comics, it actually will help 'tweens with homework and build Math and Reading skills. This website is a great combination of fun and education where 'tweens can actually enjoy learning. Funbrain offers users the following categories: "Math Arcade," "Reading," "Arcade," "Playground," and "All Games." Each of these sections offer unique games and activities that will help 'tweens, especially tweens struggling with reading. Moreover, if 'tweens are looking for a way to kill time, they can play all of the games that are offered on the site.

Another great feature of this website is the "Web Books + Comics." Fans of  "The Diary of a Wimpy Kid," can actually read the book online, which is pretty awesome since the books are always checked out. Moreover, this book will take readers straight to the "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" website, which contains much more stuff and information about the book. Along with this series, FunBrain offers other web comics and e-books that will appeal to 'tweens such as the "Amelia Writes Again," by Marissa Moss, and comic strips. Furthermore, there is an "Entertainment" section that redirects users to the Family Education site, which lists movie reviews and a list of television shows. Not only is Funbrain a site for 'tweens, but for parents and educators as well. As an alternative to popular media, this site will be a nice change of peace for the wired 'tween.
