momma aimee Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 are there other websites (even if the cost a little, not a lot) that are interactive on the computer for kids, like starfall. especially that are easy to use Big is loving the little bit of "on the computer" he gets to do now he did an hour of starfall this morning. i did start him at the start so it was pretty easy for him most of that hour. I'd let him to do more if it was really him doing it (that is interacting with) and not it giving me work sheets and lesson plan ideas and so on. :lurk5: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess4879 Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 There is this: http://www.readinga-z.com/members/index.php It is pricey though, unless you can get some people together to share. I am not sure how it works, but I think you can contact them and have them give you a "classroom" rate for multple homeschool households.

alisoncooks Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 I think it's totally worth subscribing to moreStarfall.com. They have lots of fun math games. My 4 and 6 year old love-love-love it! We're also currently enamored with Reading Eggs. My 6 yr. old BEGS for it (she loves "shopping" in the store to buy stuff for her "house.") I signed up for the 14 day free trial and found codes to extend the free time up to 68 days, LOL. You're allowed to use 2 codes for each child's account (so use the longest lasting codes). My girls love it enough that we'll be paying for it (once you do a trial, they'll start sending you offers...my current offer is 12 months for the price of 6....which I'll probably cave on!)

Where did you find codes to extend the free time? :bigear: I just signed up today for the 14 day trial and DD really liked it. And the offers they are sending you...is it less than the price at HSBC? (I'm guessing the offer you got is half off, is that right?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you!! This will give us some time to play with it before we decide to purchase. And it sounds like the deals are better than HSBC. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Michelle* Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Thanks for this thread! I've also wondered what Reading Eggs was, but never looked into it. I signed up for a free trial and my son is chugging along right now. I like that they have a placement test, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 6 yr old was placed on Map 5, but she has really benefitted from starting at #1.... That level was wayyyyy to hard for her.:confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just completed his first lesson and it seemed to be just challenging enough to keep him interested and not discouraged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 (edited) My 4yog really likes ABCmouse.com Susan in TX :iagree:My oldest just pointed out ABCmouse.com to me the other day as a suggestion for his little brother :). I was getting ready to sign my little one up for Starfall.com, but this offers so much more! We just went over it with my oldest and just as I was signing up for the free month with monthly subscription, they offered us the annual membership for $59.95. I got that instead :D! Looks really cool! I think my almost 4 year old will love it! Edited October 25, 2012 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
