Special Ed Summer Project
In my long term sub job as SpecEd teacher I've put together some summer projects for two of my Kindergarten kids with austism. This is actually good for any child ready to enter into Kindergarten, though.
One in particular is not neccesarily just for kids with autism.
Almost everyone has Excel nowadays and almost all versions can be configured to speak.
If your kiddo can type, then they can practice high frequency words on Excel.
This way will hit audio, visual as well as textual needs at the same time.
First configure your program to read out loud in My Computer, then go into Excel and
add the text to speech function to the toolbar. After typing in the words, highlight them
then hit the speech function and it will read it back.
I think this could be probably be altered to fit different needs in many lower grades such as spelling words, etc.
