[Lekooks] Fwd: It's all here

Sun Aug 28 19:35:38 CDT 2016

The short answer is yes.

Here's more on Khan Academy. It all started when Sal Khan made math
tutorial videos for his nephew's then offered them publicly. It is almost
all done with volunteers. They acknowledge that English is their weakest
area but it doesn't look lacking to me.

For grammar they have three sections: Parts of Speech, Punctuation and
Syntax.

This is the Syntax area. The icons didn't copy. If something is listed
twice it's because there's a video and problems to complete.

Syntax
<https://www.khanacademy.org/humanities/grammar/syntax/syntax/v/what-is-a-sentence-syntax-khan-academy>

Syntax involves arranging words to create logical phrases, clauses, and
sentences. This is a big topic, so we'll be covering a lot, including:
dependent and independent clauses; simple, complex, compound, and
compound-complex sentences; subject-verb agreement; dangling modifiers; and
much more!

What is a sentence?

Three types of sentence

Declarative, interrogative, and imperative sentences

Exclamations

Simple and compound sentences

Simple and compound sentences

This site really is an unsung hero. A parent or tutor can get real time,
meaningful reports on a child's progress (not just percent right for each
lesson but statistics on number of attempts and time spent per problem,
etc.) and the student's dashboard offers encouragement thru badges and
levels. Also the mood and style of all the lessons are positive and
presented with an attitude of "look at this cool rule or fact; look what
you CAN do and learn!"

Khan Academy has something for kids who are behind and can't get what they
need from their school and for those who are ahead or bored and need more.

They have partnered to create some of their lessons too. I haven't explored
the area because I don't code but Pixar worked with them to develop the
animation section in the computer coding area. This screenshot is the
entrance to that area.
