Re: help for non English speaking middle schooler

There is information on the Advocates for Children website:

<http://www.advocatesforchildren.org/who_we_serve/immigrant_students_and_english_language_learners>

The website links to a guide for parents of English language learners available in several languages, including Arabic and Bengali if that would help.

online (educational) games

Timez Attack
This game integrates traditional flash cards of multiplication up to 12 x 12 and a really cool video game. The demo is free, and covers the same math as the full version (which is more fun). Note: Some kids love this game, some hate it.
