This site has information for kids, teachers and parents. It has
links to search engines for kids, reference material (an atlas, dictionary,
etc.) and lots of helpful information on helping children do well in school.
Project Bartelby Archive:A
resource that lists classic books. If a child is going to learn to
write well, it helps greatly to expose him or her to plenty of books.
This site links the user to books by such authors as John Keats, Theodore
Roosevelt, and William Wordsworth.
The StudyWeb : This
site has information on most subject areas. It is a good place to
turn to if a child has homework and needs help beyond a parent's expertise.
Children's
Literature Website : This site is helpful because it has lots
of information about books for children and adolescents. Since it
is so important for children to be exposed to as much literature as possible,
it is unrealistic to expect all of their reading experiences to be done
at school. Parents need to help their children develop a love for
books, and an informed parent can help his or her child select high quality,
challenging books. Students who enjoy writing usually started out
as students who loved reading. In order to be a good writer, a student
needs to read a lot!
KidSource : This
site has tons of information on educational issues, health concerns and
parenting tips. It has links to many other helpful sources.
It has information for all age levels, from infants all the way to college.
It is one of the most useful sites I have found for parents.
My Virtual Reference
Desk : I really like this site. There is so much information,
it would take hours to just sample bits and pieces of it. It offers
information on subject areas, colleges, family issues, health issues, etc.
It is quite comprehensive and it has an area in which a user may search
for a specific topic. (This site is not only valuable for parents,
but also for teachers and students. )
Librarian's
Guide to Cyberspace : This site gives parents good information
to help them stay informed about online communication. It has basic
terms they need to know and definitions of those terms. It also has
a question and answer section for kids and links to over fifty additional
websites for kids and parents.
Family Education Network: Another
general site with homework advice, parenting tips, and plenty of resources
for parents. It has information for all age groups. Specifically
on writing, this site has ninety-one writing resource information pages.
