If you wish your kids would stop wasting time on the computer and instead use it to study, you're in luck.

Whether your kids are in elementary, middle or high school, there are software programs you can buy that cover just about every subject.

Best of all, most of these programs won't make a big dent in your wallet. They cost $40 or less. They can save you the hassle of interviewing tutors, who could cost much more.

Educational software by Encore Software Inc., Knowledge Adventure Inc. and Riverdeep Interactive Learning Ltd., to name just a few, let kids stay glued to the computer while they learn.

Some products cover a wide range of subjects like biology, history and writing, while others hone in on a specific course, such as algebra.
