Educational software for a Junior + Senior Infant

    If this is more suited to the parenting forum please feel free to move it.

    I am looking for advice and suggestions for a software package that a Senior infant (6 in a few weeks) and a Junior infant (5) can work on together for 30 mins a day.

    They are in a split class in a small rural school and will be sitting out the religion class, so they will need to be able to work on this by themselves

    The senior infant has no problems doing basic navigating on a PC and is very patient, so will be able to take the lead and help the junior infant.

    The senior infant is also an excellent reader for his age, so it needs to keep his interest as well as cater for a more junior reader.

    Any suggestions are welcome.

    Hi there....
    can you try 'zac browser'? It's designed for children with autism, but is fantastic for all children (and free!)

    The rest of the class will also love it........

    30mins a day for religion seems really excessive.....before I'm shot down, I do know it's what's recommended...but....???

    Does the school use Jolly Phonics? There's a great cd-rom of games that would be suitable, as there are different levels.
