We used Barnes and Noble "Flash Kids" series for a lot of the lower level language arts/math BARNES & NOBLE | Flash Kids Harcourt Family Learning
Had the added benefit that we could just go to the local B&N to look at it before we purchased. And kind of ridiculously cheap. Cost was a big factor for us for more years than I like to recall.
I should add that I think instilling a love of reading has led my girls to their academic excellence more than any other single thing we did. We never really concerned ourselves much with what the book or subject matter was...so long as it grabbed them and held their attention. With a few exceptions we never really kept them back from tackling anything they chose to read. Comic books, cookbooks, magazines, are all fair game for us. I don't know how the autistic process the written word...but if there is something he likes to read I would include it formally or informally....and be sure he gets heaping doses.

I'm always happy to complete the free application waiver for those applying to WGU (I get a free gift from WGU for this). Just PM me your first/last name and a valid email so I can complete their form.
