Enter the world of education through music with Musical Word Magic. Using various musical genres, this program exposes students to music while teaching the alphabet and language skills. Developed by a certified speech therapist/reading teacher, MWM is presented in CD and Karaoke format, so students are not simply observers in the process -- they are active participants, reinforcing the material. All 26 songs (one for each letter of the alphabet) are original and fun to listen to.

Students learn the alphabet, phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, oral and written vocabulary and comprehension, all in the form of enjoyable music and coloring books. The many components, CDs, Karaoke and books, are available separately and MWM works with special needs students, too.

Test A New Curriculum, This Summer and Enjoy Your Time Off!

Summer is a great time to try new things. After all – following the same learning routine year round can get to be repetitive… and boring. With Time4Learning.com, you can easily experiment with a technology-based curriculum that was voted as a top three selection of the Homeschool.com "Top 100 Educational Websites of 2009."

Time4Learning takes an “outside-of the-box” approach to education; a refreshing change from sitting in a classroom or at a table reading textbooks. Kids get an individual learning path based on subject skill mastery rather than grade level. They can work at their own pace and on their own terms. This gives them a sense of ownership over their progress, which can be a great motivator. Plus, students get access to the grade above and the grade below each subject, so they can advance or review any time they need to.
