What do you all do when a child has gone beyond what T4L has for their level? Tim is almost done with 2nd grade science, and he finished 2nd grade social studies a few months ago. Third grade social studies was just out of league, it wasn’t interactive enough to hold his attention, and I’m pretty sure science would probably be the same way. The LA extensions aren’t really helpful, either. They need a science extensions!
The LA extensions is good for the first section of it, but after that it loses his attention too much. We use other sites as well, so I’m not worried about his not getting the material he needs, but after today he’s only going to be on T4L for language arts and math. Now, Josh is just getting started with T4L, so I’ll still be using it for him. But, only the math and language arts, again, because the science is too hard for a preschooler.

Does he like to be read to? Sometimes I let my students read a book I have on the topic instead of reading it on the computer. Yesterday, one of the kids was going to do level 3 Social studies on Vikings and I let him read instead from the Usborne World history book. He just finished his reader last week, so I gave him a historical fiction book about Vikings to read.
If it were me, I would just do LA and math since it is the end of the year. But maybe you school year round?
