As a member of the TOS Crew, I was given an AVKO Membership for an entire year. There is much to explore on the site, but if you have a dyslexic child or a struggling reader this may be a great resource for you.Some of the features members of AVKO can enjoy are:
- access to free ebooks in pdf format
- free supplemental curriculum
- free mp3 recordings of Don McCabe's workship seminars
- access to Spelling City diagnostic and multimedia spelling resources
- instructional tips and ideas
- readings for increasing comprehension for dyslexic and other learning disabled students
- read only access to all AVKO curriculum materials other than Sequential Spelling and Engaging Language Kits (deluxe version only)
- access to placement and pretests
- 25% discount on all printed AVKO materials
While, this is likely a treasure trove of research, information, and support for parents of children with learning difficulties, I have not found this site to be especially helpful for any outstanding needs our children have. If you have a struggling reader, then I encourage you to look over the testimonials and information from AVKO to see if it sheds light on something you need for your child.

I love your blog, and I've commented before, but I thought you might be interested in this game.
I found it while looking for math fun. We aren't quite ready for it, but when I saw it, I thought of your kids. Here is the link:

OH thanks! I've heard of it just recently and went to check them out. It does look like great fun. Thanks for thinking of us!
