3.0 out of 5 stars well organized, poor voice talent, July 10, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Curious George Reads Writes and Spells Ages 6-8 Lunchbox Edition (CD-ROM)

I bought this for my 8 year old to improve his spelling in English. The spelling skills sections are well organized and levels can be changed, the program allows time for reactions...BUT...the character voice talent also used for some of the spelling cannot clearly pronounce the "s" sound, and to a lesser extent the "t" sound. I can't see the point of using a voice saying "shtay" or "ath" and expecting children to know that this means "stay or "at".

4.0 out of 5 stars Curious George is a hit!, November 18, 2000

I use this CD in my second grade classroom. Students love the familiar "Curious George" character, which keeps them entertained. The skills taught on this CD are perfect for first graders or weak second graders. The skills are all age-appropriate. The CD also contains many printable worksheets for additional student practice, as well as short, printable stories that can be laminated and used for years to come.
