Thanks Amy. I appreciate the links.

I use the computer to teach alot since my 5 year old does do ood with it. I can look up anything like that fast and I am going to use those too.

My problem is that Tyler doesn't learn like most kids do, so finding things on the computer that fits the way he learns is very time consuming. I usually do find things that help, eventually. But you posting these links saved me some time. I'm not sure if any of them will work with him, a lot of times I just have to try and see.
