Taking suggestions for summer program

[Guest guest]

I haven't been here in forever, but I've started to look ahead to

summer and want to put together some sort of informal program for my

son. He's recently turned 7 and doing well in a private kindergarten

(held one year) without any special assistance. Last summer we did

VBA and it helped with beginning question asking etc. He's still not

what I would call completely conversational. He can tell me a few

things about his day (what he had for lunch, what letter they talked

about, etc) but we need to get to the next level. We're still

working on How and Why which is starting to get better. I also want

to incorporate social stories, proper school behavior (playing school

perhaps?),RDI, critical thinking skills and a preview of any abstract

concepts which may be introduced in first grade.

Does anyone have any suggestions for getting that conversation

going? We've tried NET with videos but he isn't a video watcher and

detested doing that! I'm hoping to make things less informal and

more fun this year.

Also, does anyone have any recommendations for CD-ROMS that

incorporate any of the things that I want to work on? Does anyone

have any experience with Rosetta Stone?

Thanks,

Vicki
