1.0 out of 5 stars VERY redundant, NEEDS more variety, January 22, 2004

This review is from: Beginning Sounds (CD-ROM)

This software is so repetitive...the same format is used for all the letters. Beginning Sounds is a completely inappropriate name for this software...not once are letter "sounds" pointed out. I and my 2 1/2 year old daughter were very disappointed with the teaching methods and the TWO games. Strongly discourage anyone from purchasing this software.
