Hi shellymos,
1. Thank you for sharing the programs that you have used/tried! We looked at the SuccessMaker from Pearson. It looks interesting and we like the fact it goes up to middle school and offers reading programs too. How are the lessons and explanations? Will you recommend it as a main teaching source or more of a supplemental material?
We were not able to find a cost, and wondering if you might have any idea? (Since we will have to pay for it.)
2. You also gave us the idea of asking for any programs that are already approved by the school/district for the 4th and 5th graders. If there is one, it certainly will increase our odds of getting something accepted by DCs teachers.
Thanks again for your BTDT inputs...

I am not sure the cost of the program, it is through the school. I have only seen my DS do it once at home (he has access through school and home). There weren't lessons from what I saw. I feel like there must but somewhere, but I didn't see any. I don't know if it is a great program or not, but what they offer. We did like EPGY when we used that last year at home, we bought it but it was a good program. I have heard about other programs like Aleks that are supposed to be good too. But you will probably be more successful using one they already have, using one that's free (like Khan academy), or using one that you buy at home but they allow him to have access and use it at school. Good luck!
