Look at the ads in magazines like Analog Computing, Antic,  and  Atari
Explorer.   (One  or  more  of  these  are  usually  available in some
bookstores.)  I know there is some educational s/w out there (although
I  don't  know specifics) and at least some of it must be available by
mail order.  Also, is there an Atari user's group in  your  area?   If
so, check with those people.

Given that you will be buying software for your son's XE, you would be
better  off  with  a  disk drive than a cassette.  There is relatively
little s/w available on cassette anymore.  Also,  cassettes  are  slow
and not as reliable.
