One of the many things I have learned about my Bubby is that he is a VISUAL child.
When he was younger, I had tried Time4Learning with him and he loved it. I only used it for Math, LA, LA Extensions .
The lessons were very colorful, funny, and entertaining. He would even ask to do extra lessons!!! I loved that I had THREE grades to work with, as well. Once you pick the grade you want your child in, you are allowed to also use the grade below and grade above.
The problem I had with the lessons was that there were no worksheets to go with them. So that he couldn't practice what he learned. Especially in math. I also felt there wasn't enough explaining and it just wasn't "enough". This was all prior to his diagnoses and IQ test.
Two years later and we are back using it. He had gone from sitting next to me for every subject, to doing all of it on his own! What a change.
His grades for LA and Math are great! (Math is his weak spot due to the Executive Function Disorder) When he does LA Extensions, History or Science, though, he is failing. That is because there are NO videos. It is reading only.
So it is time to find something more visual, hands on, for these subjects.
We will keep Time4Learning for LA and Math. They work for him and the lessons are short and he is able to process them well. He is getting 80's, 90's, and 100's on his quizzes.
I am thinking possibly trying out BrainPop. We had used it before and look forward to seeing how much more they have added since and if it will be a good fit.
If you have a suggestion, please share them. I would love to check out your resources.
