Learning and fun activities inside for a 2 year old?

What are some fun learning activities?

• My sister has learning disabilities, and last year she was put in a special needs class in the high school. They don't really teach the kids much in the class. I feel that she is capable of learning more, so what I want to do is sort of tutor her over the summer. She is pretty stubborn, and doesn't like school very much. So I would like some ideas that make learning fun. I would like to make her motivated to learn. She really needs help with counting money, and printing her letters more clearly. She is sixteen years old so she wouldn't enjoy baby activities. But her mentality level is about the same as a ten year old. So if you have any ideas they would be greatly appreciated.

  Most students, regardless of age, love interactivity on the computer. I hope you have one. Go to Education World.com and it will point you to other sites (ESL) that have soooo many activities that your sister can enjoy. From Reading to Social Studies and Math and everything in between. Here are some sites: ReadWriteThink,ABCTeach.com, EnglishClub.com; RoytheZebra. I am sure you will find great activities and games, quizzes that will interest your sister. Also call the state board of education and let them know you need some websites and other information to help your sister. They must provide assistance as part of the NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND law. Good luck to you and to her. You are a caring sibling to reach out. Feel free to email me personally if you need more information. I teach 8th grade and one of my co-workers teaches students with disabilities. I have a great many contacts and books, etc that I can provide you with. Additionally, there should be some activites going on in your city over the summer that will help her as well. She can enjoy swimming and all kinds of activities that will help her learning increase. God bless you.
