You can learn grammar, try the Hour of Code, practice ELA (English Language Arts) for grades 2 through 8, and even explore storytelling from Disney’s Imagineering in a Box class. If you haven’t visited Khan Academy in a while, you’ll be amazed by how much they’ve expanded beyond just math. As we’ve learned from tips from our teacher friends, short sessions and plenty of variety is key for keeping kids engaged and focused, so feel free to pick and choose and see what works for your family. We’ve gathered resources across a wide variety of subjects, from math and reading to science and coding, all freely accessible and all at a level that kids can engage with independently. We’ve all been trading links and tips back and forth to help support learning in our own kids’ school communities, so we wanted to bring some of our favorites to you!
