We've enjoyed this CD very much, along with the does it belong CD. You could sit with a very young child at your computer and play these games. My son played them over, and over, and over! he didn't get bored with it until just recently, now that's he's 4.5 and has the game down.
He just had a friend over who is 4 and has very little computer experience. Once she got the hang of the mouse, (she's a lefty).. she couldn't be moved from this game!
Happys stars and sad checkmarks are so darn cute.
You're young one will not get suicidal over the sad checkmark.. trust me on this.. It's brightly colored, but simple. Does not overwhelm a child with too much going on, like some of the JumpStart games. That makes it great for sensory issue children who just can't take all the hoopla. This game is keyed down, but in a good way, not a 'cheap-save money' way. Also, I think the repetive concepts might work very well with special needs children.
Well worth $10.

I have yet to find a "School Zone" software program for preschoolers that I like.
Most of the games on this CD involve tasks where the child chooses two or more answers and then clicks the "OK" button to find out how he/she performed. If he/she answered all items correctly then a "smiing star" appears, if he/she is wrong a "sad checkmark" appears. (When an aswer is incorrect a simple "try again" is sufficient). My 3 year old actually gets upset when the "sad checkmark" shows up. As much as we try to teach our children that mistakes can be a learning experience, they never seem to like making them. At this age it is very important to make learning fun, and this proram leaves a lot to be desired in that area.
Also, this program does nothing to use the mistakes a child makes and assist them to learn from it. The feedback offers no corrective information and is too delayed to actually allow for any "learning" to occur.
After several items have been performed it just says "try again later" or "you'll get it next time". Sometimes each item has a star or check next to it, but it never tells the child why the answer was incorrect, or how to correct it. How are you supposed to "get it next time" if there isn't any input as to how to do the task correctly? Good software should give a child immediate assistance whenever needed. Learning at this age occurs best when a child is given information, i.e. "that tem is different because we are looking at things we wear and an apple is something we eat."
Not worth much as far as learning goes.
