Educational computer program ideas

Ladies, As I reviewed the "Let's share our schedule" posts, I noticed several of you utilize computer programs that you consider educational...we have yet to venture into this realm, though I have begun thinking it would be a good time as my ds is now 6 and has asked several times about such a thing...Do you have any programs that you love, or your children love??

I also have begun a collection of books and stories on CD for rest time and independent play time, but would love some rec. on these as well. We had one series that the kids really enjoyed however, after listening to them several times, we felt some of the interactions between the children in the CD were just not beneficial...we really want resources that encourage our children with kind speech and beneficial words...we found ourselves doing too much explaining of why we do not want to speak this way to one another and decided to put them away til the kids are older and can comprehend the concepts better...

We just got our BLHFHG in the mail this week and can't wait to begin after we finish LHFHG the first of December!!

Thanks for your input!
Eryn

Unless your 6 year old is a very advanced reader for his age, he's probably love www.starfall.com It's not a computer program that you need to purchase but rather a free website, but the quality of it is remarkable! It works like a purchased education program would! Definitely a favorite at our house!
