    Resources for distance/home learning curated by a teacher

    Published: Mar 23, 2020. Modified: Jul 14, 2021By:Kylie·This post may contain affiliate links·

    As many of you know, I used to be a teacher, but now I am a little further out of touch with that world than some of my friends.

    One of my friends- an amazing classroom teacher (and all round awesome person) is busy at the moment creating a list of resources for the kids that she teaches and she has been super kind as to share them with me so that I can share them with you. Because you know what, we can get through this.

    But only if we work together.

    I would love it if you could support my friend Erin, by visiting her Teacher's Pay Teachers store, and checking out the maths starters she has that will make your K-2 maths time at home MUCH more fun.  I've started using them and love them!

    Literacy resources

    • Online phonics/reading program for K-2. Free on computer and currently free on iOS. Small cost on Google Play.
    • Free decodable readers for K-2
    • Watch a story read aloud by actors
    • Read a book online (Epic has a 30 day free trial) 
    • Your local library will have online books for kids you can access for free. You just need a Library account. Georges River Library use Libby, which you access via your phone/iPad/Android device
    • Vooks - video books. Free 30 day trial.
    • Audible currently have free kids books:
    • Reading/Comprehension for kids in 3-6 

    Multi subject:

    • ABC Education – Lots of learning resources and games in a variety of subject areas
    • If you're interested in more work-sheet style learning, Twinkl and Teach Starter are both offering packs of worksheets, for each grade
    • More worksheet style: from Teach Starter

    Maths Resources:

    • Manga High have a 30 day free trial
    • Khan academy have free maths activities:
    • These are the skip-counting songs I use in my classroom. 
    • Jack Hartman also has lots of counting songs (and count/exercise activities). They are not my favourite to listen to, but my class really like them.

    Science:

    • Science experiment ideas from Science Bob
    • Nature Study Australia
      There are free resources on this website as well as paid. We personally love the nature study guides, there is a backyard edition too - perfect for getting the kids outdoors with a purpose

    Technology skills:

    • Typing Club.Practise typing 
    • Code.org Learn coding. This one is really fun. My class last year loved it! (Haven't had a chance to start with this year's class).

    • Excellent mindfulness activities for kids.
