[quote=Anonymous]I like Zearn and think it works well for my 4th grader. Reinforces and/or rephrases what is taught in class and provides some additional practice. For my second grader, Zearn works- but like other computer programs- requires a level of computer proficiency she just hasn't reached. Extended periods of time clicking, typing, etc, are just frustrating for her. So we have established a routine where I will help her with the clicking for a section or two that she is working on. The point of the program is to practice her math skills, so I see no problem with me helping her with the clicking. I do not give her the answers and submit it even if she is wrong. She stands up and stretches/moves while I help her with the clicking. Availability depends on my work schedule, but this has helped eliminate her frustration. So much of the problem was simply because she is not used to or interested in extended periods of time in front of a computer.[/quote]
