Handy Homeschooling sites....

[saddina]

I came across the files I used when I taught preschool & K and thought some of our homeschool parents could use these for extra pratice & goodies...

Beginning letters, numbers, colors & shapes:

http://www.dltk-kids.com/

Good for 2-4 year olds who are just learning basics, letter and number tracers, early social studies.

http://www.janbrett.com/index.html

A children's author, Jan Brett, has loads of goodies that go with her books, as well as holiday things. A favorite here is the wall mural pages that let several kids or a whole family work on the mural together (instead of butcher paper buy a few rolls of cheap wrapping paper at the 99 cent store and use the white side).

http://www.edhelper.com/

There's alot that's free here, but for only $20/year you can access everything on the site, well worth it for things like math and social studies.

http://www.starfall.com/

The best phonics site, I can't say enough good about it, kids love it beyond belief, teachers love it, it's all free, there's mini copies of thier books to print, it's fab.

http://www.time4learning.com/

$16/ month Once starfall has been mastered this site does the next steps, it covers math, reading, history, & science in 15 minute mini lessons, enjoyable and good for kids who need extra pratice (or mommies who need 15 mins of byc time).

Any sites for older kids? Middle school up through highschool age.

Time for learning and edhelper both have higher grades.

Wow! Thanks! Some of them I had seen but a lot of them were new to me.

I agree about Starfall, I can't recommend it enough.
