5.0 out of 5 stars Our 8 year old loves Jumpstart!, January 19, 2007

This review is from: Jumpstart Advanced 3rd Grade V2.0 (CD-ROM)

Our 8 yr old, who is working at the 3rd grade level in school, loves Jumpstart 3rd Grade Advanced.

There are 4 CD's in the set for your child to work on in sequence and each CD focuses on different subjects. There is also a feature for the parent to allow you to check on your child's progress to see how they are doing.

This software utilizes the knowledge most children would have by this grade level and expands upon it nicely. Our son is learning and having fun, while being challenged! What more could you ask for out of an $18 computer game!

My husband and I plan to get him the 4th grade set when he finishes and are considering getting the 2nd grade set for one of our daughters as well!

3.0 out of 5 stars Just OK, May 20, 2008

This review is from: Jumpstart Advanced 3rd Grade V2.0 (CD-ROM)

I must say this product is OK. There is way too much story line that you must hear over and over. I just wish they would get to the educational games already. While there is so much story line there are very few instructions and some of the games are very hard to understand. So just an OK rating from me.

This review is from: Jumpstart Advanced 3rd Grade V2.0 (CD-ROM)

I purchased this program for my seven year old daughter. She is only going into second grade but loves a good challange. In some areas (fractions/measurements) it is over her head, but she is learning a lot and I have to drag her away from the computer when she is playing this game. She is on level one now and I think it will entertain and educate her for at least another year as she moves to higher levels.
