"It's a book, but it's not a book. Orphs of the Woodlands does so many fun things right there in the story!"
~12 year-old, Flint, Michigan
I can't emphasize enough how much content is in this program!
The students are introduced to so many different concepts from over 300 lessons as they read the wonderful story of The Treasure of Hightower!
As a bonus, all of the progress your child makes can be viewed via the parent section of the website, with your unique password.
I encourage you to investigate this wonderfully interactive and unique approach to reading and learning, and I highly recommend this if your child loves doing lessons on the computer or tablet!

We've been thoroughly enjoying Star Toaster's new program "Orphs of the Woodlands", a learning adventure for grades 4-7th.
The program is designed in the context of a game, where gold stars are earned by completing "jobs."
The jobs consist of going through a short training on a variety of subjects(math, science, reading, vocabulary, etc, etc) and then taking a test employing multiple choice.
I loved the fact that the student uses his or her stars for the care of virtual orphans, so that even through the course of a game setting, the emphasis is on others.
I found the 300+ lessons on target grade level wise, and presented in an engaging manner that reinforced and expanded upon lessons in the 4th-7th grade level.
I'd encourage you to check out this great resource!
