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!

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.

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.

We ordered both 4-6th grade Jumpstart and this Jumpstart Advanced 3rd grade. The 4-6th grade works great, but this one (3rd grade advanced) freezes up two computers used for games. Both have Windows versions listed as compatible. Sending back.

All of my kids ranging in age from 7-11 love this program. The games and activities are well written and engaging. Only occasionally do my children run into problems that require my assistance. The only downfall with the 3rd grade program is that it makes all the other jumpstart titles look that much worse.

We've previously purchased the reader rabbit series along with the JumpStart series. We believe the Jumpstart series is definitely better than the Reader Rabbit products. We gave this one to my son (he's gifted) who is in second grade and he installed it without our help, was running it while we slept on Christmas day. It was in his stocking so they're allowed to open them without us. He is GLUED to the computer. Hasn't asked to play the Nintendo all day and he keeps going back to it.
Excellent product and excellent product series.

This is the coolest cd-rom you will ever invest in your child's education. And the best thing about it is your child doesn't even realize that he is being schooled while he is playing the games because it is soooo much fun. My 7 year old son loves it.

My kids love the games and don't even realize they are learning/ reviewing the fundamentals. I highly recommend it.

This is a great buy for my second grader daughter. She is enjoying every bit of it. She is learning good through this one. It teaches speed, skills and ability to complete.

I was disappointed...the games glitch and have problems on my computer. I also thought these were like Jumpstart World; however, I have found out this is incorect. There's no way to track the child's progress. I used Jumpstart World PreK - Second Grade as an assessment tool for homeschooling. This is just a bunch of games and while it may be educational there's no real motivation for the child to continue like in JS World. Just wasn't what I expected. I wish they had made some note that this is not Jumpstart World...that may have made the whole "negative" experience less, because I would have realized that they were just games for kids to play.
