1. Make a study group (duh lol)
Of course, we all enjoy spending time with our friends, and you probably enjoy your children doing the same with theirs. It's ESSENTIAL nowadays, whether it's through zoom, facetime, skype, or other similar sites. Now, I'm not suggesting that you gather a group of friends merely to hang out with, but the company is important, one idea is having an older child in the study group who can help keep the others on track and engaged.
(Of course, this isn't essential.)
In any case, look for people who stay alert in class, take notes, ask questions, and respond to the educator's questions. (but, don't make the gathering too big.)
A group of three or four children is good.
2. Determine the subjects
Consider the topics you'd like to discuss before starting the meeting with your study group, and then choose one. This will allow you to stay focused on the topic at hand without being distracted. After you've chosen your subject, think about what you want to accomplish in each session - but don't take on too much material in one sitting. For instance, if you're working with a novel. Instead of trying to discuss the entire book, learn more about the author, focus on one component of it, such as a couple of the characters. Or just the first 2 chapters.
3. Plan ahead of time.
Prepare for your study group by learning more about or conducting research on the topic you'll be discussing. Make a list of any concepts you're not sure about so you may discuss them with your classmates. There will undoubtedly be several things that you all need to discuss in greater depth so that you can assist each other in understanding. This leads us to...
4. By communicating effectively, people will learn from each other.
It doesn't matter if one of them does not really comprehend anything or requires additional explanation, communicate honestly. Also, don't be afraid to solicit criticism from their peers: "Are they talking too much?" or "Did they portray their point of view correctly?" It's often claimed that it's better to teach other people what you know and learn from others who know what they're talking about.
5. Have fun with it!.
Last but not least, (certainly not least), strive to make learning as fun as possible by making it interesting. Keep them engaged in learning. Choose books about topics that they will all enjoy reading. Take your study group to a park or see the movie and discuss it afterward.
