First Grade Teacher's Opinion
Each day my students have "center time" which is structured independent study time through different activities. One of the choices is use of the computers. Spelling 1st and 2nd Grade is by far the best program that I have used. The children love playing it and it concentrates more on the subject of spelling and phonics than on the games. Too many educational software titles I have used are ...

My son has Down Syndrome and I've been told that he can learn most anything, you just have to find his particular 'learning pathway' for him to master it. Well, we have been working for years on time and money, with very little progress, but in the last 4 months he has mastered time and money with 30 minutes a day useing this program. An unexpected bonus was he picked up fractions in the process, ...

One of the best learning games on Mac and PC
Unlike one other commenter, we've enjoyed this game on three separate Macs. One running Panther (OS X 10.3), one running Tiger (OS X 10.4), and one running Leopard (OS X 10.5). Do not shy away from this game because one commenter couldn't seem to run it! All three of our kids absolutely love this game! It certainly helped our two oldest learn to read before kindergarten (on their own ...

School Zone

The Best of Addition/Subtraction Math Software
This is a GREAT program. The main screen allows 1 or 2 players, play against the clock, challenge another player, or practice one set at a time (0s, 1s, 2s, etc.). The second screen is a Magic Square (table)from 0 to 12 to help the student find the correct answer, and posts the math family group in upper right-hand corner that will repeat back the equation clicked on. It can be used to solve a ...

Easy to follow directions and still gets the point across!
I bought this program for my son when he was in kindergarten. It helped him to recognize the numbers and to associate them with amounts and so forth. The directions are not complicated and very easy to follow. It is set up like several workbook pages. If they get the problem right then they get a big star. If not, they get a big red check mark but are able to re-do the question and get a ...

works fine on XP
Another reviewer here claims that I can Read With Phonics does not install easily on Microsoft Windows XP. NOT TRUE! I have XP and every Reader Rabbit game works perfectly on it. I own just about everyone out there, and my son (age 5) is a great fan of the reader rabbit software. This game does an excellent job of teaching reading and phonics in a fun way. If you have a child ready to learn ...

4 year old loves it!
My four YO grandson tried this out for the first time last night. His words "I LOVE my new game!" I was impressed with how easy he was pulled into the activities and the sense of acomplishment he had when matching sounds to letters and listening to the sounds and matching to words. The L sound is weird though. Doesnt sound right but for everything else it is great.

Good basic program
My 4 year old daughter loves this program, as well as another title in the series called Shapes. (shapes is better for younger children though). It is fun and easy to use, and is very enjoyable as well. I can't say she is really learning much in the way of new things, but she certainly is having fun, and her brain is engaged at the same time.

Fun program
This game is really fun. It's not particularly deep, but it gets kids practising spelling and reading in a very exciting (not overstimulating) environment. The game contains sets of 30 worksheets that kids fill in, and they get rewarded with games (that are hard to master, but the challenge is actually motivating). Good, especially for the price, and there's a workbook included with the CD-ROM.

Engaging and useful software game
This program is cheerful and fun. My kids love it. The educational content is strong yet it still manages to hold children's interest. Good for children who need to reinforce simple phonics, like beginning sounds, ending sounds, long and short vowel sounds, etc. Inexpensive and very recommended!

Easy to Use but Overpriced
I purchased this software thinking that my daughter would be entertained for hours, however, she went through each disc (Transition Math & Reading Readiness) within 1 hour each. It's kid-user friendly but there's not enough learning material in it...ALSO, a few of their exercises are duplicates from their books, which is a disappointment. Also, I wasn't really pleased with the Letter Recognition ...

Nice software
This program is very easy for young children but it is a lot of fun. Some of the games are challengin but the school exercises are simple. Despite this, my 4 year old daughter asks to play this repeatedly. It is certainly entertaining.
