For Parents and
Children:
The Scholastic site has a wealth of information for parents on a wide
variety of topics including, book lists of all ages, reading help, homework
help, activities, and child development. There is also a great section for
children. One part is for children 8-12 and it includes interviews of authors,
book suggestions, videos and games. The other section has fun activities for
children aged 3-7 with Clifford and the Magic School Bus just to mention a few.
For Children:
ABCya is a fun site for your child to practice math, spelling, reading and
keyboarding. It is geared for K-5. There are a variety of activities for each
grade level and some activities are just for fun. ABCya also has apps for Apple
products. There are some ads on the site but they are appropriate for children.
In other words, you aren’t going to see ads for such things as dating sites.
Marcelino’s Letters is a good beginning keyboarding site for kindergarten
and first grade students. The site does contain ads.

Photo Card
Make a postcard using preprogrammed photos or your own.
Children write their message and then decorate it with a stamp and stickers. An
address can be added and the message can even be recorded. Then email the
postcard to someone or print it out to mail it to someone. A fun way to
practice letter writing skills.
