[MACEP] Best Kid Software

[tchase]

Hi Everyone,

 I'm tutoring a 3rd grader who, due to health concerns, can't be in the 
classroom until next fall.  I'd like to be able to recommend some 
software (math, specifically, but I'm open to anybody's "this program 
would be dynamite for a learn-at-home student!") to the family.

The other motive I have for asking is that my own daughter is finishing 
1st grade and I'd like to lay out some money ($90?) buying good software 
pieces for her.  Two boys are in pre-school and will follow in their 
sister's footsteps, so I'm happy to lay down money for good software. 

I'm more interested in new software than old, but some oldy-but-goody 
recommendations wouldn't be terrible, either.  Are new versions of 
Reader Rabbit or Carmen Sandiego better than the old ones?  Anybody have 
ideas of software for me?  Can you pass my email along to someone who 
knows kid software?
~Tim
