Each site listed is developed for children and is appropriate to their reading and comprehension levels.&nbsp; After visiting the sites, the student can click on the final site and take a short quiz.&nbsp; The student can go back to the site at any time.&nbsp; After the student figures out the answers, an email is sent to me and I return email them a image of a University of Noggin Flea showing the name and date.&nbsp;

These statistics are usually, but not always, the more reliable source of information.&nbsp; Often it is the only source.&nbsp; Recent administrations have put &quot;spin&quot; on the process, outcomes, and reporting so these statistics can&#39;t be viewed as independent.&nbsp;&nbsp;
