This review is from: Vocabulary Puzzles Grade 1 (CD-ROM)

I bought this for my 5 and a half year old daughter and she loved it. It only took her a couple hours to get through all the puzzles but she has played it again and again after that. Once you solve some of puzzles, players are rewarded with a computer game. I like that it was self-explanatory and she could do everything by herself since she feels more accomplished when she doesn't ask me for help.

The other reviewer described this as a workbook, and it is a bit like that, no fancy graphics here. Even so, my daughter has been playing fancier games like Reader Rabbit, Math Missions, and Zoombinis since she was four but she was not bored by the Vocabulary Puzzles format. I feel like the software was a great deal and we really enjoyed it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Electronic Workbook, August 31, 2005

This review is from: Vocabulary Puzzles Grade 1 (CD-ROM)

I purchased this CD-rom at a large discount retailer for about $6.50. That's about how much it's worth. If I had paid more than that, I think I would feel ripped off.

The best way to describe "Vocabulary puzzles, Grade 1" is as an electronic workbook. It is not really what I would classify as a computer "game". The exercises do offer some good reinforcement of basic skills, but I have to sit with my daughter while she uses this program in order to explain/interpret the directions and to help her find the keys on the keyboard. My six-year old is probably "gifted" (we homeschool so I really have no clue if she technically is gifted, but teachers I know say that she probably is) who has a pretty long attention span, but even she finds the exercises to be challenging, bordering on monotonous.

I wouldn't really classify this disc as "making learning fun". It only real use is to make learning electronic and offer a slight variety to filling out workbook pages.
