Paid resources

I like these as they give you feedback on progress and you have the ability to compare to national levels and/or age levels. They are also very well received by the children due to the clever animations and the gamification aspect.

You can also decide how much of the site you want to access. For my child, I only signed up for Nessy reading and spelling as I wanted to focus on these areas but not for the touch typing part or other areas.
