SKL Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 I'm curious to know what online resources your children use to supplement / enrich outside of school. Also, when do they do this work? How much do you monitor? Do they enjoy it or is it just another tiresome chore? :P 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tm919 Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 (edited) I've had to add more online things for my older daughter (6) this year, so I can focus on one child at a time. She likes: neutral - IXL, Xtramath, Lexia likes - Wordly wise online - did the early levels quickly, now she's actually learning words so it takes longer-- curious to see what retention looks like because if she retains the information it's pretty much amazing for us; Duolingo for Spanish loves - Dance mat typing, Brainpop/Brainpop jr (once a week) - she loves it so much I've thought of subscribing, but for now she has enough to do. This year, she is doing IXL & lexia on Mondays with her dad (that's the plan since those are required for school; but I can choose which level she works on), and has been doing all the rest 2 weekdays after dinner. The other 2 weekdays plus 1-2 weekend mornings OR afternoons I've been focusing on her. During this time her younger sister reads. The 2 weekdays when older daughter does online resources and the weekend mornings or afternoons that she isn't working, I focus on working with her younger sister (who IMO is too distractable for too much online). This afterschooling thing is really a work in progress for us, I doubt we'll ever really have the same set up each year.
