Homework Helps
Hint: Left click on the link and go directly to the site!
These math, reading, news, and reference websites can help kids practice skills, find facts, and explore cool topics.
Khan Academy, grades K–12, free
Step-by-step videos and practice exercises make this a deserved staple in the academic website hall of fame. Every type of math is covered here in addition to computing, science, and history. Though it's best when kids already understand the concepts and just need help with the nitty-gritty, this resource gives kids access to independent, self-paced learning.
BJ Pinchbeck's Homework Helper, grades 2–12, free
From geography to mythology, this site offers a wide variety of topics and links so kids don't have to wade through a confusing Google search results page. It's possible to navigate away from the original links to other places on the web, so it's best used with some guidance.
Newsela, grades 2–12, free
This site is all about making current events accessible to every reader. Instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, Newsela offers the same article at different reading levels so kids can get the information they're interested in without unnecessary frustration. There's also an annotation feature for kids doing research and a Spanish section.
Digital Public Library of America, grades 5–12, free
If your kid needs some very specific information, a time line, or a primary source, this is the site to use. Though it's not little-kid-friendly, its resources are deep and wide. Here, kids doing research can practice using a search tool effectively and receive tons of search results that might be hard to dig up on the internet at large.
Google Art Project, grades 7–12, free
Budding artists can look through thousands of pieces of fine art and curate their own collections. The accompanying lessons and activities round out the experience and let kids interact with the art in different ways. From Monet to Warhol, this resource covers a lot of ground and can inspire all manner of makers.
