As promised in last week’s blog, I’m diving deeper into the free educational resources I mentioned — ones I personally use to support my children’s learning at home.
Whether your child attends school or is homeschooled, these tools can help you be more present and effective in their educational journey. These websites offer structured, fun, and often curriculum-aligned materials to help your child stay on track in core subjects like Maths, English, and Science.
