3.0 out of 5 stars A good start software & fun for 3-5yr boy or girl, October 16, 2007

By	LAK "lakdek" (Newtown, PA United States) - See all my reviews

I purchased this software because my kid's daycare uses Reader Rabbit. I picked this version since it was preschool to K & I've got a 3yr old & a 5yr old & I wanted something (for my first purchase of software) that they could both use. It's a two disk set with one for the preschool & the other is K. The preschool has less "story" to it; it has more games, songs, & a zillion printable activities (we haven't done them since the kids computer isn't hooked up to a printer-- another thing they might break). Some games are matching letters or shapes, while harder games have the child pick the right word for the sentence (if you move your mouse over words, etc, the sentence/word is read for the child). Both my kids like teh preschool disk. THe K disk is more story & more detail -- help the mouse find letters & fill in a map. I think my 5yr old lacks the desire right now to sit thru all that, but it seems fun & challenging without being hard. My 3yr old tries to do it, but he can't follow the steps yet. I would have given this four stars (maybe even five, but it's my first software purchase & I've got nothing to compare it to) but I had to bump one off because the software doesn't download; you have to change between disks & that is a huge drag for me when one kid is done & the other wants to do the other program. That's just a hassle that isn't necessary. Outside of this, I think the program is great. The kids spend maybe 20 minutes on a Saturday or Sunday on the computer. I would recommend this product. It was a good first purchase for us.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Program, May 12, 2007

THe programs were perfect for my daughter. The price I paid beats going out to the local stores or signing her up for a computer class.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice programs -- doesn't work well on my system, March 20, 2009

By	D. J. Petty "Deej" (Bayou State) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

While this program is one that I have seen at a couple daycares in my area, on my home computer this program hangs and intermittently changes colors.
