We have all really enjoyed our month with Time4Learning.com.
I was really doubtful in the beginning just how well it would teach. I wondered if it was going to be like so many other learning sites that just gloss over topics and call it a review. I was pleasantly surprised to see just how well the topics where actually covered. Jacob loved the Social Studies so well he actually took notes! Matthew actually enjoyed the Language Arts portion and that is an area where he really struggles. He especially loved Word Herd and actually uses several of the new words he learned. Abby loved all of it, and usually did more work that I actually assigned her. The way the Math was presented she seemed to really understand better than the previous math curriculum she had been using. Sam loved the Science and Math portions, but didn't care too much for the Language Arts portion, which didn't surprise me. He's really struggling with his alphabet. The only thing that I didn't like about Time4Learning was if you started a lesson and had to leave it, you had to start over from the beginning. There was no picking up where you left off. It really frustrated the kids.
We will be continuing to use Time4Learning.com. Between work, and farm chores, and everything else that goes on on top of homeschooling, it is nice to have some of the burden of planning and grading removed. We won't use it as our entire curriculum, I don't think the kids need that much screen time, but we will use it to supplement and to fill in when things get really hectic.
The opinions of this review are entirely my own and was not written by Time4Learning.com. I was given a free trial as compensation for my review.

We have been using Time4learning off and on for years and really find it useful for our families learning needs. We've been taking a computer break this summer but I think some of the activities do save your place if you quit in the middle. Maybe that is for the older ages only?
It really works great for us on field trip days. On those days even if we haven't accomplished anything else but the computer I feel they are still progressing.
