Homeschool CD Roms we have used
July 19th, 2008
The other day I shared some of the books we use for homeschooling. Today I want to share some of the CD Roms we have used.
We have used CD Roms to supplement our book work. We have found this useful to reinforce some of the lessons that the kids have learned. It also gives them a change of pace if they are getting a bit stale from the daily lessons from the books.
Some of the ones we have used from Eureka Multimedia include:
- Adding and Subtracting
- Multiplication and Division
- Multiplication Tables
- Maths Quest
- Phonics 1 for beginners
- Phonics 2 - Read and Spell
- Phonics 3 - Read and Spell
- Fun on Alphabet Farm
- World Atlas
- Creative Story Writer
These CD Roms are age graduated and can be used by several kids at a time as you can enter your name at the start and work through the exercises. When you finish it saves where they are up to and keeps a record of how they are going.
The CD Rom also has notes for teachers/parents to use and printable worksheets. They are Australian made and developed in conjunction with the Australian School Curricula guidelines.
You can purchase them from most major Australian retail outlets (ie Australia Post, Big W, K Mart and Dick Smith) and they are good value as they only cost A$10.95.
To find out more about these CDs you can visit the Nodtronics website that has a full listing with printable pages to try out.
