Bought this for my 6 year old. He is starting grade 1 next month. Some parts of it are difficult for him but thats when I get involved and teach him. He can add and subtract so it helps him practice that. It teaches addition, subtraction, vocabulary, reading, counting money, recycling, planets etc. He LOVES it and I have to limit how much time he spends on it. A real great learning tool.

We have been purchasing the Jumpstart programs for our daughter since preschool and have been happy with all of them until now. The format just doenst work right with Windows 7 and there was no figuring out how to make the game more playable. Is there a more recent Jumpstart 2nd grade out? There has got to be. I havent found it if there is, but this has gone back a decade from the others we have. Unless your computer is very old, don't bother trying with this one.

I bought this software for my 5 year - old grandson. He already mastered the 1st Grade of this series. Some of the skills are too difficult for him right now, but with a little coaching from me he can do it. He's favorite section is the music part and he can do it all by himself.
I recommend this software to any parent that want to challenge his/her child and also for any daycare with access to computers.

I bought this for my 1st grade son. It is too easy and a lot of games. also it has some simple drawing and puzzles. Kid has fun but not quite useful.

My daugther in now in 2nd grade. I bought this for her to use the summer before school started. It just did not keep her interested. She would play with it a very short time. How ironic that I tried to get her to play a computer game during the summer!! I just gave up and let her enjoy the summer. She is doing great in school and busy. I will give it away. I do not think it is a bad program, it just did not work for us.

This game has a good variety of games and activities, but it can be TOO easy at times, especailly if your child is advanced. I played this game Kindergarten - 4th or 5th grade, although it was easy after 2nd grade, it was still fun, because I was a dork.

Got this for my daughter especially for during the summer! She loves it and enjoys playing and I like that she is learning and keeping up during the summer so when she returns to school it wont be new to her! :) Happy customers!

I purchased the Jump Start 2nd Grade for my nephew but I wanted to make sure that it worked. Trial run results (negatives): hard to navigate, hard to follow instructions, some instructions not given, some games have no educational point to them, and the graphics could be better suited for a 2nd grader. (Positives) Entertaining for children, fun songs, cheap price. I would not recommend purchasing this product.

The noun song will drive you insane, but your child will understand nouns. Mt six year old gamer loves this game and is improving in his studies. As a homeschooling mom, I think this is one of the best games for teaching, but it does not replace bookwork by any means.

"I like the games, but some of them are a little bit hard". in the classroon they have fun stuff to do like paint make storys so have fun with it if you get it.
