 Study Island is a fun resource to help Learners prepare for CSAP tests and to assess proficiency. The on-line program uses games, skill-building tools, and other fun methods to engage kids and capture their interest. The Delta VHCP has purchased enough usernames and passwords for everyone in grades 3 through 8 to participate at their leisure. Contact your Resource Consultant for your username and password.

http://www.homefires.com You can sign up for a free newsletter that will send daily information for "Clickschooling" (links to free virtual field trips, printouts and fascinating information) or "Carschooling" (many resources for educational fun for families that spend time in the car). Browse this website for ideas as you evaluate this year's progress and look to next year for new ideas. It's not too late to use some ideas you may find on this interesting website.
Although targeted to "home school" there are many resources that our VISION families will enjoy. In addition to links, learning style assessments are available as well. An audio magazine, "Boomerang", with many topics of interest to ages 6-12, recorded by kids can be purchased, and many products are reviewed.
As always, while we have browsed this website and found many helpful features, parents should preview all materials to determine what is appropriate for their own learners.
