   We’re doing K-12 iAcademy and I do love that its lessons are very enriched with age appropriate lessons, go at their own pace, some are interactive. It allows extra lessons for the gifted or you can skip optional lessons. However, for my SPED child, it also requires me to be one-on-one with him since he cannot read at age level. I’d have to choose grades below or modify and then it is no longer worth it. I wish they could combine k-12 with Time 4 Learning. Interactive lessons when first introducing the information seems to be what makes learning fun.

   I`m using time4learning and heres the positive and neg. that I`ve found.

   Negative:
   1) For older ADD child it just did not work.  It could not hold his attention at all even when I sat with him.
   2) For the first grade reading program the teaching voice  has an annoying nasal accent.  I prefer no accent for an English program. 
   3)  Customer service is not interested in customer feedback.  They just want their money but don`t care about improving the quality of their program.  If you point out something, they ignore it or they say they have no control over the program so they can do nothing.
   4) The first grade math program is terrible. It is just all over the place with no consistency or building on one lesson on top of the other.  The first day is counting to 100 which is done very briefly and then the child is supposed to know with one introduction to numbers what comes after 69 or what comes before 80.  The next lesson is fractions.  The next lesson is addition, etc  So the lessons are just all over the place. 

   Positive:
   1) The kindergarten and 1st  grade reading program is well animated, colorful and holds the interest of a small child so learning is fun and all the reading program is based on games.  For example you have to shoot the word “the” or you have to knock down the short e sound.  It`s a fun way to learn for children but with short lessons.
   2) I think the price is good.
   3) I like that it has a daily and monthly progress report. 

   Summary: I use it as a supplementary study tool not as a full homeschool program.

   I am trying to figure out is time4learning is a good fit for this year.  I have been sick for 7 months,  so my homeschooling has not been too up to par.   i just was doagosed with lymes disease so there is no telling how i will be this year.  I am determined to still homeschool and am trying to find a phonics/program to do online. I already have all my curriculum set,  but may have days i am too sick to use it.  I thought time4 learning may be a good fit so my 2nd grader does not fall behind.

     Does anyone know anything else i should be considering?  i mostly just want a reading/phonics.  we use the ordinary parents guide to reading and the  Phoincs book from MCP.  dont have any phonics readers though and feel she needs to be reading more.
