What’s It About?
Got questions? Dig right in to this extensive collection of Web sites broken down by subject and age group to find the answers. Not only can you get straight-up homework help on HOMEWORKSPOT.COM, but you'll also get related news and links to other wonderful sites. In the section for middle schoolers, for example, you'll find links to sites on geography bees, immigration, and countries of the world. The reference desk area is a gateway to dictionaries, atlases, almanacs, and encyclopedias. Take your learning offline with the educational suggested things to do, such as downloadable maps you fill in. And writing tips offer help with essays and book reports.
Is It Any Good?
Many online homework hubs have tons of valuable information, but everything is so buried that kids never find what they're looking for, making the point of a site like this completely null and void. HomeworkSpot.com, on the other hand, has distinct age and subject categories are clearly divided so kids can go right to the subject they're interested in. And, with the many downloadable printouts, kids are encouraged to give their eyes a break and take their lessons off-screen. Now who said learning couldn't be fun?

Did we miss something on diversity?
Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.
