New New New for SMP!!! Whiz on the WEB

In April 2005 KGRE introduced a new page in the magazine for upper-elementary level students - it is now called The Wow Wow Whiz Page. The latest addition for upper-elementary level students is the SMP/Whiz page on the KGRE website. Starting in March, 2006, we’ll have a fantastic SMP/Whiz page for all of you just starting to learn English at high school. This new page will be updated EVERY MONTH. Yes, there’ll be new stuff on the page every month.
The page will have an overall topic each month such as, health, school life or hobbies. There’ll be a message from Whiz each time. There’ll be jokes, short reading passages, some tasks to complete – all on the topic. There will be a great new Whiz Quiz each month too, with fantastic KGRE prizes for the winners. There will also be a special section for students and teachers who send us their coursework and projects from the activities in the new KGRE in The Classroom Teacher Package for SMP.
