Following is an unpaid review of Houghton Mifflin's SkillsTutor by Orilla Crider, Director of Missouri Association of Teaching Christian Homes (MATCH), and a Co-op member:

This is a wonderful tool to have for any homeschool mom. Are you looking for extra help for your students? This is just what you need! You have numerous activities to choose from to have your student(s) do. You can choose from the California Content Standards or California Content Standards for CAPA (Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science) for your student to work with.

This program gives you the area to pick what subject you want to use with your student(s). If you have multiple students you can add as many students as you need and even add a note for each student. You also set the Mastery percent for each subject and student. The default is 80 percent.

This online program also has a place to print reports for each student for each class that they do work in. It tells if the student(s) are up-to-date, falling behind, or ahead of him/herself. The teachers area also lets you preview what the student will be working on when you assign them the work. There are classroom guides for each class for you to view or print out so you know what is expected.

The student area has it where the student(s) clicks on his area and it takes him to his lessons. The student clicks on each lesson and as he finishes them it grades them and then puts the percentage on the assignment. There is a "Student Assignment Detail" the list the students name, user name, class, assignment, teachers name, period of time, site, and the mastery percent grade. Under activity it list all the activities that the system or the teacher has assigned and the date that each assignment was completed, the score, percent and how long it took for them to complete the assignment.

This program is NOT available to individual homeschoolers EXCEPT through the Co-op. However, Houghton Mifflin has set a retail value of an individual subscription at $149. But through the Homeschool Buyers Co-op you can purchase it for only $79. This is for the online subscription with access to all subjects, all grades at anytime. MATCH highly recommends this wonderful addition to any curriculum.
