 Brain-dead-- your child will soon be, too July 20, 2008

I wish I could give this zero stars. Aside from containing some errors, it is full of activities that will dull your child's mind. Just a couple of examples:
* The "art" section (sounds cool, eh?) contains pre-drawn pictures that you can scribble on with a pencil, or fill in regions with a paint bucket. Nothing else. This is a waste of money for anyone who already has Microsoft Paint, and does nothing to advance your child's knowledge of or appreciation for art, or ability to draw, or to do anything else except click a mouse. Of course, any software will do the last.
* The "music appreciation" section does not teach any musical skills whatsoever. The child is merely asked to click on several buttons, each of which plays a different tune. Then the "reward" is given-- a carrot. It was at this point that my three-year old turned to me and said, "Daddy, this software is really dumb". I had to agree.
The reading section does not teach reading, etc.-- I could go on, but I won't. I will not try anything else in this series. I wish I could give this negative stars.

I bought this for my 3 year old grandson. He just loves it and asks to play it every time he comes over. He can run this program all by himself. He is learning so much from this including recoginizing patterns,colors,and story sequencing. I love it because it gives me a brief rest in our busy day together. I strongly recommend all the jump start software.
 Not sure if it's just my computer, or what... February 15, 2008

...but his game constantly stops in the middle of an application. we have several other computer games that work very well, but this one just chooses to be fussy. there are no scratches, so i don't know what's up. maybe it's just not being supported my my laptop very well? anyway, fast shipping and no scratches ont he cd, so the buyer's not the problem! the game itself, or my computer is to blame.
Wow, what a neat Software May 18, 2007

These CD's have been around for years and I never bought them with our first child, but wow what a difference it made for my pre-kindergartner. He is spelling, reading, etc. And he is addicted to the PC (in a good way). Highly recommended.
