    I guess I do not understand how you guys managed to fast from the board.  I mean if you block it, you just override it.  No problem.  I have no self-discipline unlike my husband. I SHOULD do a lot of things, but I have no self-discipline.  It is why I never started drinking or doing drugs.  I know I would never stop.  @Ginevra @marbel  I admire your self-discipline.  I have tried.  If I am busy, then it is easy.  When I have so much downtime, I cannot help myself. 

    You can have someone else set the password to your screen time settings.  Turn your phone into a phone and have someone set the password.

    Have you used these apps/websites for APD?

    I am actually using this one!!  I don’t know if it works yet but it is challenging and lots of thought put into it.  The negative reviews I don’t think they understood.  The sound is faint on purpose.  It requires head phones.  (And they need to be in the correct ears- DS figured that out).  Started a couple weeks ago and he’s been moving up through levels.  It plays increasingly distracting background noise.

    Educational app/website for pre-K

    Anyone know of a good one?  Reading eggs seems a bit over stimulating.  I want to use something for a few minutes a day as a reward after his other school is done.  Letters & numbers reinforcement only.  I’ve looked over the App Store and am unimpressed, so figured I’d ask here.

    Grade 3 Writing curriculum with activities? Or is EWS + Lithouse sufficient?

    I like rod and staff 2 in grade 3.  It covers writing and grammar.  Not “fun”, but quick & to the point (10 minutes or so a lesson).  I have 4 children doing R&S this year (levels 2,3,4,6).  They do not want to switch to something more “fun”. You can’t work on paragraphs until sentences are solid.  It includes a lot of copy work woven throughout level 2.

    Reading Intervention time

    @PeterPan thanks that helps about what you saw at paid tutoring places.  I do have a vision, I think it will help to set limits to each activity and decide on the flow.  I don’t have to worry about him being cooperative.  He’s at the extreme end of being overly cooperative and I don’t want to take advantage of that.  I want to make sure he has plenty of time to work on his strengths/interests.  Understanding what others have done helps with having a ball park reference.  If you all said 20-30 minutes tops I’d have to really reconsider my approach 🙂. More is not always better.  In this case I think 4 hours a week (what I am aiming for) is reasonable based on what I’ve read in research articles and what has been said here.  I am sure I go over that time, so my next step is to work on time limits and flow.
