These sites are great for extra practice with math and reading skills at home. I encourage you to let your child visit these sites. However, I always recommend that young children are well-supervised while on the internet. Even though these websites are perfectly safe for children, computers can often pop up ads and other content that may be inappropriate for young children.

When on the Internet, encourage your child to **type using both hands**, rather than hunting and pecking with one finger on the dominant hand. This is a hard habit to break later on, and students will need to be proficient users of computers and other technology to be successful in the 21st Century.
