    DS6 is about half way through a free two week trial of DreamBox and really likes it. We tried EPGY last year and this is way better for him. With EPGY I had to make him work on it. With DreamBox, I have to make him stop to do other things.

    This is just a supplement to school for him but I think it will really help. He has dysgraphia so being able to work on a subject without a pencil in hand is a relief for him.

    Homeschool buyers co-op has had it the past couple Aprils I think it was. So you might be able to sign up then at half off! DD does enjoy it too. Best interactive/manipulative computer math I've seen by far.

    DS8 enjoys DreamBox, too. We did a 6month trial of EPGY, and it was a real struggle. I don't know how much DreamBox is actually teaching him, but it's been a great way for him to practice existing math skills. I've definitely noticed an improvement in his mental arithmetic since he started.

    My son is so proud of the achievement certificates he has earned. I printed them out for him this evening and he is taking them to school tomorrow so he can show his teacher.
