Scholastic would be a familiar brand to many parents and children. After all, they are the publishers of popular children’s titles such as Captain Underpants and Geronimo Stilton.
With the current coronavirus situation, Scholastic has made its Learn at Home virtual resources for pre-kindy kids to teens publicly available to support schools worldwide that have been affected by the shutdowns and stay-ins. And, these learning resources are available to users in Singapore too.
Scholastic Learn at Home
The Scholastic Learn at Home features day-by-day resources for kids to learn at home. It is usually available as a subscription-only service but is now freely available for a limited time.
Preschoolers & Grades 1 to 2
Learning resources in a similar format are also available for those in Grades 1 and 2, the equivalent of the local Primary 1 and 2.
Grades 3 to 5
For primary school-level children, lessons tackle topics such as disabilities and dealing with challenges. They also incorporate more in-depth articles and videos.
For example, the teaching resources for Week 1 Lesson 1 include “What’s Good, Jordan Reeves?”, a video about advocacy, and “Dream It, Print It”, a science video about 3D printing.
Some of the lessons even incorporate “virtual field trips”, though these are mostly American-oriented.
Grades 6 and up
For those who are looking for something educational and stimulating for kids to do while at home, the Scholastic Learn at Home learning resources has a wealth of information worth checking out.
