What are some good computer games that teach young children math?
My 6 year old cousin is falling FAR behind in his schooling. But he loves games!
I want to find some educational games for him so that he thinks he is playing a game, but is actually learning.
Reading and Math are critical
Michelle answers:
He can go online to http://www.funbrain.com and play several fun math games for free.

Sandy asks…
What are some good books, or even a series of books, for a 7 year old boy to enjoy?
We have been reading Goosebumps but we are looking for something different now. Maybe something funny or even adventurous. Thanks.
Michelle answers:
I remember reading many of Roald Dahl’s books at that age – they’re a bit old, but they’re very imaginative and I think they’re just right for a 7-year-old. My personal favorites from his books were Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator, The Witches, The BFG, and Matilda.
I also recommend the Captain Underpants series by Dav Pilkey. As a warning, there are examples of bad grammar/spelling in the comic books featured inside the novels, but they’re excellent books anyway and are great for a boy that age.
The Magic Tree House series by Mary Pope Osbourne is another good choice. The newer Merlin Missions books are fitting for his age, although some of the older books might be a bit below his level. Also, the research guides also written by Osbourne regarding topics featured in the books are educational and good reads.
The Hank Zipzer series by Henry Winkler and Lin Oliver were also ones I read when I was 7. I still pick them up sometimes to read – they’re very well-written. And I read the Encyclopedia Brown series by Donald J. Sobol when I was that age as well, so both of those are good choices too.
I recall reading Diary of a Wimpy Kid by Jeff Kinney when I was maybe 8 or 9 years old online at funbrain.com, so that might also be a good choice. It’s a very funny novel.
The Animorphs series by K.A Applegate might be a little above his reading level (I’m not sure; I’ve never read it myself although I’ve heard good things about it) but at any rate you can help him with any words he doesn’t know or anything. The same goes for A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket, the Percy Jackson and the Olympians Series by Rick Riordan, and the Harry Potter series by J.K Rowlilng – I’ve read all three series I mentioned previously, and they’re very good, although probably a bit above his reading level.
Good luck!
