Looking for something for my 6 year old (turns 7 soon). He is a very good reader, in 1st grade but reading at 2nd grade level.

I was interested in an online program (don't mind paying if it's a good program). He did starfall.com for a long time but is bored with it now. Any recommendations?

I would like math, money and time to be included.

I have also been looking at reviews for JumpStart, but they seem to be mixed. The Jumpstart Advanced 1st grade has quite a few reviews that say it is difficult to navagate. It doesn't seem there are many options out there.

I guess I would prefer online just in case I have trouble with a computer program being compatable with our system (we have Windows Vista / XP)

Any advice appreciated!
