Helpful Resources for All Subjects!
The Khan Academy at https://www.khanacademy.org/ provides free online tutoring in most subjects and most grade levels. When you or your student sign up, the site keeps track of the skills mastered and automatically moves the student through the skill levels.
Ask your local librarians for suggestions. They know what books are of interest to children (of all ages!) and can point your student to the appropriate reading levels or special interests. Many libraries also have suggested reading lists on their website.
For fun and challenging free educational games, go to https://mrnussbaum.com/games. Some of this site’s games can even be downloaded onto a tablet for use.

Middle and High School
Engage your child in discussions about what they’re learning. What do they think of the book they’re reading? Why are the historical events they’re learning about important? What does it mean to be an engaged citizen? Questions like these, that don’t always have a definite answer, help engage your child in the content on a deeper level.
If there is trouble with a concept, guide your child to a specific Internet site. By providing targeted help, you show support and interest. If one site doesn’t help, try another site.
Have your student keep an agenda or homework journal.
