A Parent's Review,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Reading Blaster Ages 7-8 (CD-ROM)
I confess. I am an educational software program junkie, and my children have been using a wide variety of different programs from a relatively early age.
This program has been one of my children's favorites, and has seen very heavy use. This program has been age appropriate for most kids at 7-8, but not beyond their reach at 6. The program also doesn't lose interest at 9 (or even 10 - my 10 year old will work with my 7 year old on this program and enjoy it). In terms of learning, this program is solid, as good as its competitors or better. At the same time, this is not the kind of educational work-out they'd get from more heavily supervised teaching, and the program has limits, since there is an urge to repeat what they are successful at over and over. In my view, some significant repeitition is useful, and increases a child's fluency and confidence, but the program is sufficiently addictive so that they keep using it long after they've gotten most of what they can from it. It would be useful to build a cleaner bridge to the next Reading Blaster (which they have not enjoyed as much) to help with this issue. Used with supervision, I think this is one of the best products out there. Highly recommended.
