Sounds like this online program is not the answer. I'm not wanting to accelerate. I'm looking for resources for him to explore largely on his own during the summer when under the care of a babysitter all day.
He will attend 3 camps! So whew I got that covered! He will have lots of Ed pool fun and outings. But he will also have afternoons I. His room as he needs alone time and I want to ensure I have some resources to feed his need for information and exoration.
Science magazines are a great idea to have on hand. His gifted teacher gives him one a week and he has been surprised how much he has enjoyed reading. As he said, "she keeps giving me stuff to read and making me care about things I though I had no interest in. Who knew black holes were so interesting?"
Are there video series or apps safe for independent exploration for young kids? He watches Brain Pop on his own accord several times a week but he has practically exhausted it as a resource.
Oh and the khan vs dreambox is hard...as I think it is more that he did t want to learn more math basics that is the real issue for not loving them. But he will tell you dreambox was too repetitive and he likes the scatch pad on khan!
