Parents Turn to Resources for At-Home Learning During COVID-19 Crisis

March 23, 2020

As school officials continue to extend closures in order to curb the spread of the coronavirus, many families are faced with the task of teaching their kids at home. Betsy Zorio with the group Save the Children says her organization has developed a free online educational toolkit parents can use to help keep their kids on track.
“We are most concerned about the wide-scale learning loss, and we think that could be among the biggest and really longest-term impacts that coronavirus has on kids in this country.”
