Customer Reviews

Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating:

- Disappointing
I brought this software especially for my 4 year old daughter who is struggling with her phonics in school and was very disappointed with the letters game which is NOT sounded out in phonics. This is confusing for children and misleading as it does state it teaches phonics.
The rest of the games are OK, but both of my children (3 & 4) got bored of it quickly.
It is very reasonably priced, but in my view not worth buying.

Rating:

- Great for pre schoolers
I bought this for my 3 year old after she had used it at her nursery. I can only sing its praises. It has hundreds of activities and the menu is very easy for her to navigate, I don't even need to sit with her. Supports the national curriculum and one of the best software games out there for young children. We have bought so many games that don't actually have much to do at all whereas this will keep them very entertained whilst also educational.

Rating:

- Excellent for ages 3 - 6
This is a brilliant software title. It kept my daughter (3) and son (6) occupied for hours - with very minimal intervention from parents.
I can heartily reccomend this title

Rating:

- PC CD-Rom 'Writing & Calculating'
Yes, the graphics are good - but it is irritating that my daughter has to go back, page by page, to return to home page.
Also the activities are in exactly the same order, time after time - why not have a random selection??? This would be a lot more fun, for both child and parents!
The 'Jump Ahead' CD Rom series, for 4-5 years old, is MUCH better.

Rating:

- average. could do better..
For the price this is not a bad buy, however, most of the content can be found in some form or other for free on the web. My 4 year old was quickly frustrated by the awkward navigation and accurate mouse dexterity required by this game. Stars are only given based on price.
