Homeschooling Resource: PBS & PBS KIDS, free website resources at-a-glance

The following are PBS links that I've explored to get additional homeschooling ideas for my son. Of course, I've had to modify some of the activities to truly meet his needs. Nevertheless, I'm confident that you will be pleased with what you find.

PBS's trusted content reaches all of America's children - a diverse and growing audience. Because kids, parents, caregivers and educators access media in different ways with different needs, PBS offers a variety of resources online and over-the-air.
