Parents and Carers often find themselves as home educators possibly through their child's long term health conditions or the unsuitability of an allocated school.
This is where the Internet has come into it's own with tons of resources to support you on You Tube and other platforms.
Celebrities and organisations around the world responded to the Covid crisis by providing activities to keep your children learning at home. Some of these have continued to benefit parents of children with additional needs juggling the role of parent/carer/educator.
This list is not exhaustive. Some of websites are traditional "home education" while others are more interactive.
Learning needs to be fun so relax you don't have to cover everything.
Just enjoy the experience of exploring and learning without the pressure of exams or tests.
Have fun!
