I discovered some of the most amazing reading online learning resources for kids. For a while I struggled with getting my 6 and 8 year old reading. They could read easy things but they weren't having the break through I was wanting. When we were attending Connections Academy the online virtual school we were introduced to Raz Kids. It is wonderful and has helped my girls read more fluently. The amazing thing is I only have to check on them and help them with quizzes sometimes. It starts at the very beginning for the beginner and advances up to age 11. It is very fun and helps kids by reading a book to them, having them read it on their own and then taking a quiz. As they go they earn points to buy things for a virtual rocket. My kids love it. The books are great and interactive. For the younger child Starfall is very fun and my kids have enjoyed it as well. My boys are loving the alphabet songs and lessons. One last amazing resource is BrainPop Jr., it has Language Arts, Reading, Science, Social Studies, Art, and Music. It's a series of short movies about different subjects. There is a funny robot named Mobby, that helps explain the subject, the kids love. There are many more resources but those are some of the main ones. I hope they can help someone searching for a way to help their child's Language Arts and Reading skills.
