Background
This website was created by a teacher and was launched in January 2011.

Content
SlimeKids features an extensive collection of book trailers organized alphabetically and by grade level, as well as numerous language arts-related games in such categories as word, literacy, spelling, typing, vocabulary and grammar. Additionally, the website showcases an array of exceptional literacy-related resources such as author and book review websites as well as superb learning tools including reference works and search engines.

Purpose
SlimeKids was created to provide students with a playful, easy-to-use interface through which they could learn about and access valuable online resources. The website is designed to self-motivate students to make their own choices and judgements about what is most useful for them as they read, search, watch and play.

Interests
SlimeKids is an acronym for School library media Kids because it combines all of those elements.
