Pen Pal Sites and CD-Rom Suggestions
from Emily, 10, USA

There are a lot of cool websites to get pen-pals from. Out of all of them I think agirlsworld.com is the best. I have a couple of other ways to find pen-pals that I want to share with you. First of all you can go to penpal.com and you can pick any kind of pen-pal you want. Some examples are:African Pals, Penpals for kids and Christian Pen-Pals. I have a few suggestions for CD Roms: Freddie Fish 2, Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing, Who Wants to be a Millionare and Clue. I hope you try these out soon!!!!!!!!!
