| You should try beestar, a website from sugar land, Texas. It offers math, ela and GT math tests weekly for Grade 1 to 5. They offer problems interesting and challenging. Most of those math questions are word problem which is the fun way to practice math. Tests are timed and scored. Math is free for any grade, ELA is just $20 per semester.
I learned this site 2 years ago from a book review in Amazon, and my 2 kids (both in school gifted and talented classes in school) have been used it since then, and they love to compete on this site with other kids from a lot of other states.
The best part is my kids work on the tests by themself, so it should be perfect for your second grader to work on in school library. |

| trid this site and both kids loved the math and science challenges. Now they added social study as well. I am so happy how they are self-motivated to work on those exercises every week. They got ribbons each week, and both got on to the honor roll this summer semester and got their name posted on the website!!! Where did you find the study materials to go with your beestar.org study, or do you just use the textbooks from your school? |

| Wow, we are using Beestar.org too. My son is doing the free math practice every week, and he really loves it! One worksheet only takes him ten minutes and they also have vivid picture and interesting stories. I can supervise his work by receiving emails from Beestar. I'm thinking about registering other advanced programs for him. It's really helpful. |

| Hi my mom friends who use beestar for your kids, beestar.org posted online summer programs. It continues the exercises format that attract our kids interest. All subjects of ELA, MATH, Science, Social Studies and GT are included in the 8-weeks summer enrichment. We will travel overseas, so this works well since we don't need to pack workbooks, we can work from beestar.org anywhere in the world as long as interenet access is available. The Math is still free for summer, I paid $90 for the other 4 subjects, what a steal. (ELA, SOCIAL, SCIENCE $20/each, GT $30). I am very excited about this. Take a look at it. http://www.beestar.org/news/news080506.jsp |

| Hi, we registered GT and science programs in beestar last semester. GT is great and James loves it. But as for science, he hasn't got high scores. I don't know where the problem is. Maybe he just likes math instead of science? What should I do to improve his study? |

| Pleasant to be back here! James has been doing well in science now. Perhaps the program of science in Beestar has helped to make it. He does the science practice and check the answers carefully. When he gets a wrong answer, he always writes the correct explanation down on the notebook, and go over the notebook once he has time. |
