Independent Reader using OFE

by Amy
(Austin, TX)

My oldest child had completed an entire year of My Father's World in only 3 months and was bored. I set him on OFE, and he buried himself in his computer for the next 5 months.

He used the 8th grade level, only the reading, writing, history, biographies portion. He was in 7th grade, 13 yo.

Likes: We could print up the schedule, and he checked off things as he did them. He loved the books, and said reading them was so much richer than most of what he reads of modern books.

Dislikes: I never could really know for sure what he was reading except for when he'd talk ad nauseum about subjects. He did have to tie up a computer pretty much all day to use it. We could have printed the books, but I dislike that option. If it's not bound, why bother? He liked reading online just fine.

It was very Star Trek, and I liked that about it. :)
