Download tips »Find resources that match what they need.
Take a few minutes to do the Readiness Check with your child and get (free) fun activities to support math and reading! It also shows how your child is doing with key skills needed for the next grade.

Strengthen Life Skills.
Support real-world skills that help your child in and out of school. Show your child how to problem solve, learn from mistakes, and communicate well with others, especially during hard moments.

Show off what they know!
After they read or finish an activity, ask your child to teach you or a family member what they learned. This helps review important skills and build confidence. Try it, even on video!

Follow their passions!
Explore your child’s interests by reading and turning everyday routines/materials into learning moments--practice fractions and measurement while cooking, make bubbles with dish soap, write songs together and more!

Discover the fun (and free) in your community and the world.
There are more online resources than ever before to connect you to the bigger world -- whether your child wants to watch a live webcam at the local zoo, learn how to do science experiments in the kitchen or practice a new dance routine.
