what are some free online reading games and programs for a struggling 2nd grader? My son is 8 years old and he is having a tough time reading and spelling he gets frustrated easily and than he just gives up. I have tried everything but at the end it just seems as though I am giving him the answers. I went to his parent teacher conference for this marking period an he is doing very poorly in these areas. He has been left behind in the first grade for the same problems and I don't want to see this happen to him again. The thing that bothers me the most is that he gives the video games 100% effort and if he could just apply the same efforts to reading I am sure he will be a success!! I have stripped his game privlages from during the weekday and limited television to one hour per day is this too harsh on him I will be allowing him the use of the computer to play certain games pretaining to his problem areas. Do you think this is a good approach for him? If so let me know of some sites that he can visit to help him along Thanks guys!!

I have been watching, reading physical fitness programs of genuine instructors. why tall claims about yoga? Especially Ram Dev's claims and instructions, people are over enthusiastic and doing whichever way they like. Any one with an average knowledge of health will understand the mistakes. There should be specific precaution for every asanas to be taken based on health and age factors. Some asanas are totally prohibited for those above 40. Even exercises should be started as advised by your physician and a physical fitness trainer. How government is allowing all quakes to preach and practice yoga ?

How do you make your child get interested in reading? I have a 9y/o boy who is not into academics. He does well in science and math but the major issue is reading comprehension. I've invested in interesting books in his level,magazines, etc. I've signed him up to an expesive reading program but no change. He still dislikes reading. Comprehension is another story.

Name a couple of programs that can record sounds that my computer is playing i.e. microsoft sam reading words? I need to record words in a robot voice. I have the voice (I'm just using Microsoft Sam that comes with windows), but I don't know how to record what he is saying without an outside device, which has bad quality. A program that records the file as an mp3 would be nice. The program needs to be free. A trial would probably work since I am only recording 30 seconds of sound.
Best reading program for a six year old boy? I have a son entering 1st grade that cannot read yet. He loves math-can add, subtract, and multiply (a little). His teacher last year was not worried about his lack of reading skills, but his new 1st grade teacher is freaked out. He understands the letters and has great phenomic awareness. He just gets frustrated and irritated when I try to get him to work on it. I need something fun and interesting. My son is bilingual, I don't know if that makes a difference. Here in the public schools students not reading at the end of K are held back. No Child Left Behind at work. Oh the irony. This is why he doesn't go to a public school. His 1st grade teacher is freaked b/c she has 1st-6th grade in one classroom, about 6-8 students. The school environment is actually the perfect environment for him (at least it was last year). This way each child works on their level for each subject-not some forced grade level. Our old teacher retired and a new one has just came in. He started in the public school but the teachers mocked him for being bilingual and biracial and for our denominational affiliation. They used words like "stupid to speak ___________" and were constantly trying to get him to eat pork (which we don't eat). So going back isn't really an option.

Dream up your remedial reading program - what would it be like? Are you a special ed, reading or resource teacher, specialist, or aide? What would your ideal remedial reading program look like? What level(s), components, structure, etc. would it have? If you have thought of this, what topics would it include? Would it need tech components? Which ones? Would it need special LD approaches or features? Which ones? Do you even want an A to Z solution? Pretend you can afford it. I am very interested to hear your ideas. I am really hoping to hear from educators here. If you are not a teacher, please don't denigrate all members of the profession. I am a former teacher, and I got really tired of the hostility for my diligence, patience and expertise. So, please, pay attention to the question. I am asking teachers and other education professionals for their opinions based on their experience and plans in the classroom. Thank you.
Does anyone here know where to find Alphabet Blocks and Beginning Reading (Old win 3.1 programs) ...? to use with Windows XP? They were made by Sierra -- Bright Star Technology, Inc several years ago. I have used a number of beginning reader programs with my kids and they just aren't as well suited to actual use by a young child. These two programs were excellent. I have the original disks, but I am looking for something that I can use with our present family computer -- which happens to be Windows XP. Please help me find a source for these older programs. Thank you to all Answerers who can help with this. Doesn't anyone ever update these old programs? It's a shame to let them become obsolete. Some of these games were classics. What about Lode Runner? That was originally for Commodore 64. I know it was updated for use on Windows (x vers). Any ideas? Is there no way to update and/or run an old program?
Should I sign the Title I Reading Program permission slip? My daughter is a strong reader at home. I think the real issue is she was nervous during the assessment.

In addition, her report card does not reflect any concerns so I am confused on why she was chosen and will be meeting with her teacher for further discussion.
Pizza Hut Reading Program Protest? Here's the link to the story on CNN.com: http://www.cnn.com/2007/EDUCATION/03/02/reading.for.pizza.ap/index.html Is this just stupid or what?! I remember this program when I was in school. Whenever you read a certain amount of books you got a free personal pan pizza (one of those small pizzas). Personally, I think that it is a good program that gets kids that wouldn't normally read, to actually read books. It's not like everyone in our school became obese because of this program! What are your thoughts?
Is reading program for 2 to 3 year old, good or bad ? Hello parents, I sent my daughter for reading program, Vital Years since she was 2. It has been a year now. Though she read but the progress is very slow and she can't read the simple books. I wonder whether she has to know her ABCs first, learn to spell and finally learn to read. I taught her ABCs by myself and she recognise them but can't spell yet.
Do you choose reading program/Vital Years or nursery/kindergarten ? I can't push my child to go both, reading program in the evening and kindergarten in the morning. It's just too much for young children. Currently, she's in reading program and I taught her ABCs through puzzles by myself so she's not left behind. What shall I do, send her to kindergarten and stop the reading program ?
