I was wondering, is there anything like ALEKS or Timez Attack, but built for reading instead of math? Something where he could play and work his way through things in the same way.

Somebody posted a link a while back to use it through their library. I've reset my laptop since then. I finally got a library card and found out my library has tumblebooks also. I just googled and there's a free trial and if you like it see if your library has a membership. Youth lives by personality, age lives by calculation. -- Aristotle on a calendar
