Anything and Everything about English

ONLINE ENGLISH - I have joined this email a week lesson plan.  I urge all families using the internet as their main source for materials to join this list.  Every week the level will be different until more people join and can start Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced lists. Each week answers and a new lesson will be posted!  If I had children in upper grades I would definitely use this site in place of traditional text.  So who says life doesn't sometimes get easier?
