Product Description

Parents' Choice®

One of a series of six "Byte"-sized titles that narrowly target specific lessons. this program aims to teach kids how to tell time. Period. Nothing more. Which explains the low price. Like the other titles that lift their content from Edmark's previously released award-winning educational software, these time-telling activities feature Digital Dan and Analog Ann, a.k.a "The Time Twins," who bring their 'round the clock shtick from the original "Trudy's Time & Place House." Youngsters practice reading and setting digital clocks and the hands on analog clocks at three difficulty settings. It's an effective animation, it's fun, but once they've learned they won't return. (Don Oldenburg, Parents' Choice®)

5.0 out of 5 stars Great For Drill and Practice of Time Skills, January 16, 2000

This game is a great review of time. It is unlike other Brain Bytes products in that the game does not keep track of the child's level and systematically take them through the program. Instead, it has three parts; telling time to the hour, telling time to the half hour, and telling time in increments of fives. You can click on the skill you would like the child to work on. I think overall the game is great and cute. The two clock characters keep my students attention. What I like most is that it focuses in on only one skill - Telling Time of course!. This allows needed drill and practice of the skill.

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed!, June 23, 2000

This review is from: Brain Bytes I Can Tell Time Ages 4-7 (CD-ROM)

I was disappointed with this software. I believe that it could help my son (age 3 1/2) learn to tell time, if it could only keep his attention! Compared to his other software programs, the graphics are simplistic, and there is only one task to do, over and over.
