Devotions that are a bit shorter but some good thoughts/teachings.

This web site has links to several other great sites…Keys for Kids is one that I love.

Provides options of worksheets, activities, games

Allows for on-line practice. It is also a great resource for generating worksheets!! (including worksheets on telling time!!)

Provides instruction and practice of a wide range of concepts. Much of the site offers free options. However, some of it requires the purchase of a CD. Still, some good stuff here.

A site that provides practice opportunities as well as challenges for your mathematician. (I was having fun myself as I tried some of the games!)

This site provides free math worksheets, free math games, grammar quizzes and free phonics worksheets and games. Worksheets and games are organized by grades and topics. These printable math and phonics worksheets are auto-generated.

This site has a list of all of the skills students learn in third grade (or any other grade)! The skills are organized into categories, and you can move your mouse over any skill name to see a sample question. To start practicing, just click on any link. You will be allowed 20 "free" problems per day. If you become a paying member, IXL will track your score, and the questions will even increase in difficulty as you improve!

This allows students to practice basic math facts by practicing and completing timed tests.

This website includes thousands of free math worksheets with answer keys.

This site has a library of uniquely interactive, web-based virtual manipulatives. Students click and drag physical objects that help visualize relationships and applications.

This is a free resource for teachers, parents, students, and homeschoolers. The math worksheets are randomly and dynamically generated by math worksheet generators. This allows you to make an unlimited number of printable math worksheets to your specifications instantly.

**This is certainly not an exhaustive list of all of the available online resources. These are just the ones that I have taken the time to look at and that seemed to be done well. I hope that this list is a fun and useful tool for you and your child.

This website has many opportunities for games and practice of math skills. It covers many different math concepts.

News for kids. Scholastic publishes a news magazine that classrooms can order. However, even if you haven't ordered the magazine, you can still have access to some of their stories online. Some fun, interesting articles!

National Geographic KIDS is a great resource at a kid level! Your budding scientist will love the many topics that are covered online. Other stories from around the world are included. There are ads on the tops and bottoms of the pages, asking you to subscribe to one of their magazines, but a subscription is not necessary to view some of the great stories online.

This website focuses on a favorite reading series...Geronimo Stilton!

This article gives some great ideas for working with children who struggle with reading or just don't like it very much. The article was originally written for teachers to implement in the classroom. However, many of them would also work for parents helping their children at home. The ideas would also work for children who enjoy reading but are looking for other ways to enjoy their reading experience.
