    hi
    hope you didnt think i meant you were putting pressure on him,i meant the teachers.
    my son who is 5 is jsut starting to get the hang of it,it has suddenly just happened where you go wow he knows that.

    in our school its more learning through play,as in the morning the nursery is intergrated with reception,at first i wasnt sure about this but he has really come on and the ''big'' kids help all the little ones.

    the pc is really good at learning,my son likes it too,he likes the sesame street website which has lots of games which are learning ones too,but jsut so you know they say ''dee instaed of we would say d to ours also its american obviously so that might not appeal to you.

    i have a couple more websites i will find them out for yoo and post back

    i think its great your trying to help him as i believe your just a part of his learning and school is a major part as he is there all day and we get the tired narky little things which we try to learn again when they are home
    appreciate what you have got x

    sorry if this is irrelevant but as a nurse I have found that many children found to be struggling at school or who have behaviour problems have problems with their hearing as in glue ear which is easily sorted just a thought...

    I agree with cbeebies - my autistic son uses this at school.

    Try also having a look at education city (I think it's called.)

  • Erm, how about books and playing? i think generations of 5 year olds managed without the use of the internet

    http://www.coxhoe.durham.sch.uk/Curriculum/Curriculum.htm A school near me with some excellent resources, this can aid learning but I would follow what kennyboy66 said, children can't just pick it up off the internet.

    A lot of schools use the Jolly Phonics books etc which I think are very good http://www.jollylearning.co.uk/
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:
