Explode the Code Online

I have been meaning to post about this wonderful online curriculum for a year now, but have been too busy.  For a year subscription of $60.00 you have a terrific online companion to the explode the code workbooks.  If your child has trouble holding a pencil or writing, but can manage a mouse, this may be the answer for phonics instruction and spelling.  It has all the positive elements of the workbooks but in an engaging online form.  Progress is monitored and the student cannot move on to a new level until complete mastery has occurred within the levels prior.  My favorite part about this curriculum is the high, really high amount of repetition.  While my son is currently in EC Workbook 3, I started him at the beginning of the Explode the Code online curriculum as a review and to help solidify earlier phonic reading and concepts.  One note, it can be frustrating if your student makes alot of mistakes due to inattention rather than lack of knowledge on a particular page, because the student will have to repeat whole sections of levels at near 100% accuracy to move on.  You may be able to adjust this, but I haven't looked into the possibility.  Also, my son loves that he has work to accomplish online like his sibs.  I can't say enough positive things about this curriculum.  I love it and so does my student! www.explodethecode.com .
