I came across this great website that has lots of interactive questions for kids. IXL.com focuses on math and language arts. You must have a membership to fully use this site at a cost of 15.95 a month, however, you can use a limited 20 questions daily, which should be enough information to do a short daily activity with your child.
I like this site because I can choose which subject material my children can access. They often get frustrated if the questions are to difficult or have material we haven't covered, which is almost everything at the beginning of the year.
Currently we are working on 1) what is a sentence, 2) subject and predicate 3) 4 types of sentences and their punctuations. ALL of these and a total of 113 grade level skills for 3rd grade are presented in an easy to understand and select manner.
This website is also great for parents / home educators in locating information your children might need to be schooled on, but are not present in your curriculum.
I haven't used the web site for my home educating yet... but you can bet we will be testing it out on Monday. I hope to be using this as a check what you learned activity in our language curriculum for both my 3rd and 6th grader.
If you check out the site, tell me what you like.
