I was offered a free one-month membership to Time4Learning so that I could do a review of the service. The site is by the same people who do SpellingCity.com, which has helped my children with fun and interesting games and printable worksheets for spelling, vocabulary and even handwriting. We love SpellingCity's adorable interface and easy-to-use format, so I expected Time4Learning to be similar. Nope.
I was overwhelmed by the complexity of Time4Learning - in a good way. The low monthly fee includes many resources for parents, multiple subjects, student progress reporting and lots more. The sitemap includes links to information on how to use the site with various special needs situations, as well as gifted students. The material is presenting in a fun way, but it was challenging for me to even know where to start. The online curriculum includes preschool through eighth grade. Homeschoolers will love that the site uses the same language school board administrators. The site can be a great way to combat "summer brain drain" or as extra help or extra challenge after school.
