Free And For Me

My son and I love using online learning programs for kids.  For the past couple of weeks he has been learning with K5 Learning.

K5 Learning is an award winning online reading and math program for kids in kindergarten to grade 5.  Kids work at their own level and their own pace through a personalized program of over 3,000 online tutorials and activities.  

Designed principally for after school study and summer study, K5 is also used by homeschoolers, special needs and gifted kids.  K5 helps your children build good study habits and excel in school.

The great thing about K5 is they offer a two week free trial.  I liked there is an assessment test offered to place your child in the level that best suits them.  After completing the assessment the results were sent within a day or two.  My son is able to log on and he works independently with all of the activities.  He enjoys the program.  

We have not used it as often as we would like because, there have been a couple of issues when we have logged on.  One day the system was down.  However, I did receive an email apologizing from K5 explaining they were working to get the system up again.  There have been a couple of times we have logged on and the activities seem to be available, but when we click on the lesson it does not go into an activity.  There have been a couple of times it seems as though we are in the activity and we can hear it, but we are unable to click into it.  I make sure it is not minimized somewhere else, because that has happened.   With that said, it has been a little frustrating and we then opt to not log on.  

Although  we have experienced some issues with K5 , I believe it may be one of the best online educational programs . It is hard for me to tell because, my son is not getting full use out of it.  

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.
Don’t be afraid to be free!!!
