Kayla has been using AdaptedMind (covers 1st through 6th grade) to work on Math during the summer break and both Kayla and I love the program!  Once I log into www.adaptedmind.com Kayla can use the site completely by herself, she likes the independence.  If she doesn't understand a particular concept she can click on a video lesson which explains the current math lesson, step by step.  The programs rewards students with badges in their badge book, kind of like an online sticker book.  Kayla likes to check her badge book throughout each lesson to see what badge she'll earn next.  I get progress reports emailed to me each time she works on the site and Kayla can also check on her own progress.  I really like that the site allows parent involvement while maintaining student independence.  Kayla and Mom both give AdaptedMind two thumbs up and highly recommend it!
