Educational Resources Available for Parents, Teachers and Caregivers of Homebound K-12 Students

University of Arkansas teaching faculty have curated a list of educational resources to support parents, teachers and caregivers helping teach K-12 children at home due to COVID-19 school closures.

The list, from professors in the University of Arkansas' College of Education and Health Professions, includes links to art lessons, playful learning activities and virtual experiences — everything from the full library of Schoolhouse Rock cartoons to virtual visits to faraway places.

Linda Eilers, a childhood education professor and director of the U of A's Literacy Camp, is among faculty who contributed to the list. She's been regularly emailing online resources to the parents of K-6 students who have attended literacy camp in the past.

"These activities are intended to provide opportunities to interact with children in ways that promote and extend literacy skills," she said. "There is everything from doodling with a children's book author, journaling, practicing listening and handwriting skills, to learning about the world through virtual tours."

The resources list will be updated as unique content becomes available.
