    I am looking into some options for my 3 1/2 yr old. I just ordered the second half of the Singapore Math kindergarten program. I was also considering signing him up for Time4Learning. Does anyone have any input on this program? Is there a better (and affordable) option available?

    He is currently reading at a late 1st grade level (which has happened very quickly) and I am looking for some other fun ways to challenge him. I am planning to primarily let him use the program in the evenings and weekends since he is in a play based preschool during the day.

    I wonder if K12 would be free if you live in one of their states?
    Or http://www.connectionsacademy.com/home.aspx ?

    Sounds like a good plan!

    I love www.iknowthat.com as does my DD3 and DS7. They have a wide range of activities with everything from math, science, social studies, LA, etc. And it is FREE! laugh I use it to supplement for my DS7 and for 'school' for my DD3.

    My then DS6 used Time4Learning this summer. He LOVED it and I was very impressed by it. Although it did cost $20/month, it was definitely worth it because there were days when he would be on there for 4+ hours (and other days none, depending on our schedule). DS was not challenged at all in Kindergarten last year, but I retested him last month and he went up 1 to 2 grade levels in all areas of math. I'm guessing it is due to using Time4Learning for 2 months, because otherwise we had not worked on math.
