my grandson loved the computer math games. You can pick them up at walmart or staples. It's fun and they don't even know their learning. Just a little trick ;-)

1) Find yourself a homeschool support group. Although Yahoo Answers can be helpful, it does not compare to finding a group, even if it's just an online group for your state, county or city. Chatting is so much more helpful than just getting a bunch of answers. 2) 1 hour of sitdown work for boys that age can be a lot. It doesn't have to be all at once, you know, if you feel that they really should be getting an hour a day. Do 15 minutes before breakfast, do another 15 minutes after breakfast, etc. 3) Learning can come from a variety of places--workbooks are not necessary if you find other ways for them to learn what you want to learn. 4) It's not at all uncommon for 6yo boys to only read a little. It's not uncommon for 7yo or even 8yo boys to only read a little. Especially among homeschoolers. They catch up very quickly when they're really ready. They SHOULD still be sounding at words in gr. 1. Even in gr. 2. You can purchase phonics programs that go from K-6. And there are no shoulds with reading at that age. It's not different than learning to crawl or walk. You can only help so much, but in the end, you have to wait for them to be ready and catch on. 5) Make sure video games don't take up a lot of their time. There is research tying video game use with LOWER reading skills. A little's okay; some every day is too much.

Don't use a toy! Get the kid a copy of Schoolhouse Rock on cd or dvd. Everything is easier to learn when it's set to music.

actually i saw a commercial for a toy that's kinda like video games that teaches kids math and spelling and other things. they're in categories like spiderman and dora the explorer and spongebob squarepants and a lot more. i don't remember the name of the product but i know it exists. try going to toys r us and asking them. or try going on the website. the game actually looks pretty cool if you ask me...hehe.

Logic toys are best since math is logic based information.
