Why YouTube Is An Exceptional Resource For Learning

YouTube has become an essential resource in our homeschool. Not only is it a free resource, but it provides video based learning, often in formats that are more interesting for kids.

As I have shared our lesson plans this year, many of you have asked for YouTube recommendations for children of all ages. The reality is that YouTube can be a powerful resource, no matter what ages you are homeschooling.

With this in mind, I asked homeschooling parents from all over the world to share their favorite channels for learning, especially for younger kids.

The results were amazing! Here are the top 72 favorites. These include channels for all ages, subjects and interests.

There is something for everyone on this list!
