interactive English computer learning sought for ages 6 and 9

[Clive]

Hello.
I'm a father of two Thai children and I am looking for a computer program that can assist in my children's learning of Maths, English and perhaps Science.
My children are quite young, ages 6 and 9 so not after anything too difficult but obviously will need to 'push' their ability a little .
If any teachers can recommend and programs that might be suitable it would be appreciated if you could attach a link in your reply.
Much appreciated.....thanks....clive

Starfall.com is a U.S. website that teaches children to read. Lots of free resources and the option to pay for an enhanced version. It now has a Math and Reading section linked to US Common Core standards for the first grade.

Clive.

With all due respects you should search the internet there are a multitude of sites that can and will give you that which you seek .

Try The British Council site, their Young learners section contains some great material there and all free of charge.

Many of we teachers avail ourselves of the free materials available covering all subjects, all age and ability ranges.

Seek and ye shall find.

It's good to see a parent taking the imitative and a lead in assisting his children learn, it's not all down to we teachers you know.

Good luck
