Parents home-schooling their children for the first time due to the coronavirus quarantine need look no further than the impressive Imagination Soup website hosted by author and education specialist Melissa Taylor of Denver. For over a decade, Taylor has served up a comprehensive menu of resources, insights, and how-tos on reading, writing, STEM and other school subjects for kids.

Start with the Imagination Soup Parent Resource Guide, an incredible list of online resources and advice for those who are new to home-schooling. It includes “online parent resources for all grades — preschool, elementary, middle school, and high school — for reading, writing, science, math, social studies, and typing, plus tips for success.” Here you’ll find links to well-known resources as well as many that most parents have probably never heard of. Dive in and see what websites, apps, or printables will work best for you and your suddenly stay-at-home students.

Then check out the many categories covered on the Imagination Soup website:
