If you're like most parents, finding time to cruise the internet for activities that will help your kids with their classwork is difficult and can often be frustrating when the sites you find are outdated and non-engaging.
These two sites are contemporary and user friendly. Your kids are sure to LOVE the activities and the amount of tools and resources that are available to parents are impressive.
IXL.com is a math practice site that assesses your child's math skills and recommends skill building activities based on the assessment. Parents can run reports to see how their child's ability is progressing so there is no guessing about what a child's skill level is. There is a cost of $9.95 per month or $79 per year, but the cost seems well worth it if you consider what tutoring costs per hour. There is also a 30 day free trial for teachers to use in the classroom, so you may want to pass this information on to your child's teacher, the school can purchase a site license and that will save you from paying for a membership.
readwritethink.org is a reading and writing resource that has something for parents, students, and teachers. The site is easy to navigate and is filled with games and activities that will build your child's reading and writing skills. This site is free to use.
Check out these sites and feel free to leave comments here about them!
