IRA Literacy Website Review #3: Education.com

          

         Education.com (http://www.education.com ) is a great source for many teaching materials for grade levels Pre-K through eighth grade. This website offers online resources that students can use at home and at school. There are also worksheets and workbooks that can be downloaded. It also offers resources that can be printed out and used as lessons in the classroom by teachers or at home for review with parents.  

            There are a variety of activities that children can engage in on Education.com. Students can listen to songs that teach different concepts. They can also play different games. There are a variety of worksheets to choose from as well, that also connect to the Common Core standards. The learning library in Education.com is very flexible. It can track your child’s progress so it will bring up activities that interest your child and their needs. They can choose to follow the recommended activities in sequence or work on their favorite activities or lessons.

            There are guided lessons which you may choose by subject, reading, writing, or math.   The guided lessons include different resources that are designed to build your child’s learning of the focus concept. The different resources include a variety of songs, games, exercises, and stories.  Teachers or parents may also create their own worksheets. The worksheet generator allows you to help make puzzles and printables, which are great for personalizing reviews of lessons.                 

            Education.com features interactive stories as well. Interactive stories may be filtered by grade level, subject, and Common Core State standards.  Some of the features in the interactive story may for example include, having the child follow along with highlighting of words so they can get used to storytelling and sentence structure. Your child can also listen to the narration to help with matching sounds to letters. When you choose an interactive story, there are also other related resources that are provided for you to choose from.                                                                                                                                                      Education.com would be a great resource for parents that may be homeschooling a student or students. It offers a basic membership which you’re able to access three free downloadable contents each month. You may also upgrade to a premium access plan. The premium access plan would give you unlimited access to the resource library, standard aligned guidance lessons, and progress tracking for math and reading skills for one student.
