How Your Gifted Child Can Benefit from Time4Learning
The Time4Learning program combines math and language arts study in a comprehensive package. Science, social studies, art, and foreign language learning are also available. Some parents only use a few of the subjects. All are impressed by the thorough in-depth education that their children receive. Each unit starts with a multimedia online lesson followed by interactive exercises, printable worksheets, and a unit quiz to assure mastery. For children, it feels like learning games. For parents, there are progress reports and in-depth lesson plans that you can preview.
After signing up, you will have access to the materials in adjacent years. This means in areas where the student is ready for even more challenge or would like to review, you can simply click forward and back.
