My oldest is 4 ½ years-old and currently in full-day Pre-K. But he’s struggling a bit with the alphabet, sight words, and reading. I was overjoyed to learn about K5 Learning. K5 Learning has an online reading and math program for kindergarten to grade 5 students. I’ve been given a 6 week free trial to test and write a review of their program. If you are a blogger, you may want to check out their open invitation to write an online learning review of their program. And although K5 Learning is geared to start with Kindergarten my 4 year-old will be able to use the program as a pre-schooler.
I was excited to read on the website that K5 includes 4 reading and math programs. K5 Reading helps kids become strong readers and develop a love of reading. This award-winning program covers phonemic awareness, phonics, sight words, vocabulary and reading comprehension. K5 Spelling is an advanced vocabulary program which improves language skills one word at a time. We feature adaptive instruction, automatic word generation, an optimized visual interface, and a 150,000+ word database. K5 Math is an award-winning program which builds self-confidence and a deep understanding of math concepts. K5 Math covers numbers and operations, geometry, measurement (including time and money), algebraic thinking and data analysis. And K5 Math Facts uses adaptive technology to help kids develop instant recall of basic addition, subtraction, multiplication and division facts. Progress on each and every math fact is monitored until mastery is obtained.
I was also happy to learn that this program has been designed so kids can work independently. I have two other children so I’m happy that I can set my son up at the computer and let him go through the program on his own. I’m looking forward to getting my son started!
