Switched-On Schoolhouse: Hassle-free Computer-based Homeschooling

Alpha Omega homeschool curriculum on CD!

We love the absolute ease of using Switched-On Schoolhouse (Alpha Omega homeschool curriculum on CD) and the family time we get to spend together. It really helps me concentrate on other related activities and my daughter loves the personal time we spend as we go through this program together.

With SOS computer learning it takes the work out of homeschooling and puts the fun in it. Grading is done for you, report cards and assignments; however I have the ability to change anything I feel we need to. For instance, if I want her to re-work an assignment I can do that or if I want her to re-take a test or if I want to skip one question or an entire lesson, I can do that too.

My daughter likes to sit on my lap or next to me as we work through her assignments together and she loves this personal time together. She loves the games that SOS uses to make learning fun....like the spelling bee and farmer word guessing games. Oh, another thing she enjoyed was the ability to send me notes on the program and I could send her notes back.

We used this program for the first time last school year for her 4th grade curriculum. I believe it is very affordable and readily available brand new or as a re-sale item on websites like eBay. I actually tried mine out from a referral in a homeschool group that I am a member of and I purchased the program from her.

It also takes the work out of creating a curriculum. I can scan ahead and see what we'll be working on and grab books from the library that will go along with our Switched-On Schoolhouse learning or plan related field trips. I can not say enough good things about this program. It really works for us.
