There are endless resources online to help you and your child learn but it takes time to go through them and find ones that suit you, your child and their level of learning. In RETNS, your children will have used some of the following sites and they will be familiar with them. If you or your child have found a resource that you think might suit other children in RETNS please email retns.website@retns.ie with information about the site and why your child likes it.
