What do you recommend for improving the kid's education at home?

Let's just say the school district sucks at remote learning. Or the parents could be poor and lack access to the internet or adequate technology.
What do you recommend the parents use to educate the kids at home?
My first thought was McGuffey Readers. Any other readers or books? What about math? Science?

You will need about 20 more kids, some desks, a space where you can put the desks and kids, a black/white board, and some type of person to guide the children's studies.

Have my grand kids doing ABC Mouse For Kindergarten and iReady for second grade.
Not going to give them a complete education but is at least keeping their little brains working.

A structured area and time set aside are going to be the biggest things. There's plenty of material online or at the library to help teach topics, and most of them are good, but if they are distracted the entire time, they ain't learnin nothin.

Greek myths can be fun way to learn new vocabulary words.
Depending on the age those sets of play money can teach them counting, addition, subtraction, and get into multiplication
Nature walks, growing vegetables, even cooking and maybe see if the local library has a book of at home experiments.

You racist son of a bitch. How could you ask such a question?!?
ETA: See this O-T thread ( LINK) for my source confirming that trying to better your kids’ education is terribly racist.

for some last minute Summer reading, I'd recommend the 2020 Liberal handbooks of:
- 1916 project
- White Fragility
that way your kids don't grow up like their bigot father. how dare you try advance the education of your child at home during these times? you think TreeWalia and Roadarious have that same privilege?

In 3rd grade, I mastered multiplication tables with flash cards. Teacher would get two kids side-by-side, flip over the card (8 x 7, for example), and whoever shouted "56" first survived, and the loser was eliminated until the next round. We do an elimination tourney for the whole class every day.
It's one of the keys to higher math.

in all seriousness i've heard good things about the book subscription service literati.com from a friend. we have our first on the way and he was trying to sell me on the subscription this far in advance.
It's monthly shipments of books tailored to child(s) age and interest. No political propaganda snuck in. And they even have little projects / toys for the kids as well.

See if your area has access to the Dolly Parton Imagination Library. Usually local United Way administers it. Your kid will get a free book in the mail every month from birth to age 5. Books vary based on child’s age. You should be able to see lists of the books they send each month online if you want to see what kind of stuff they send.
