Best Software for Children Software 2012
Teacher’s Pet Pre Kindergarten As one of the other reviewers said, there is so much to this software that’s not in the listing.These are GREAT learning games. There should be more detail available on this page about what you’re buying and took a bit of a gamble but I was lucky. Bought this for my just turned 4yr old granddaugther. She has been into books and Disney movies but not computers. Thought it was time to introducer her to video games (but not the action type my young grandsons love). She has taken to this series like a fish to water. Loves being able to play the games herself….and also show us how well she can do. We like the games because they have a lot of variety done in a fun way. There is art, music, geography, ABCs, logic, colors etc. You get a lot for the price, 5 seperate learning games,Reader Rabbit Learn to Read With Phonics (Preschool & Kindergarten) by The Learning Company reading, science, math, thinking skills, and time and place with each one having 5-7 different learning games. Very 3-6 age appropriate. THe K disk is more story & more detail — help the mouse find letters & fill in a map.
I think my 5yr old lacks the desire right now to sit thru all that, but it seems fun & challenging without being hard. Will not load after installation. Product description says it supports Windows XP. I am running 64-bit Windows 7, which is likely the problem. My recommendation is that you should not purchase this product if you have a 64-bit OS. Reader Rabbit Reading Ages 4-6 We ordered this for our four year old daughter and, while it is probably a bit above her level (she is not reading yet but is beginning to sound out letters, etc. and when we read to her she will point out letters that she recognizes…but has not yet begun to recognize entire words), it is a wonderful program!My 3yr old tries to do it, but he can’t follow the steps yet. I would have given this four stars (maybe even five, but it’s my first software purchase & I’ve got nothing to compare it to) but I had to bump one off because the software doesn’t download; you have to change between disks & that is a huge drag for me when one kid is done & the other wants to do the other program. That’s just a hassle that isn’t necessary. Outside of this, I think the program is great. The kids spend maybe 20 minutes on a Saturday or Sunday on the computer. I would recommend this product. It was a good first purchase for us.

My son who is 4 loves it and I use it as a reward for completing his school work with a good attitude or a fun break. But what do I know! She spent three hours on it the first day learning how to navigate through the various activities and books. I was amazed since she is a whirlwind of energy. Since then she views it daily and learns the letters and words and is beginning to pick them birthday missed kindergarten so she is in pre-k, this is a little girl who had a speech problem so bad that at age 3 I couldn’t understand what she was saying. She did know the sounds of most every letter, but wasn’t reading at all. Well in just 5 days she whipped through the first level to help Sam get to the castle, and by the end of it, I did the assessment over, there is one for your child to do so the game can challenge but not overwhelm your child. In 5 days only, she actually read every single word in the sentences that are shown in the assessment. She didn’t get a couple of words right, she got every single word RIGHT! I can’t say enough about this way of teaching, nothing short of miraculous. I purchased the reader rabbit with phonics to Purchased it on Lightning Deals because of the good reviews and great price.
I’m so glad that I did. It was a great leaning tool for kids to learn and practice their typing skills. A great buy! give her some variety and will write a review on that when we start that one. OH and I also highly recommend school zone products, nearly everything she is doing in pre-K she already knew thanks to reader rabbit, and My daughter is 3 years old and she is beginning to read. I love Reader Rabbit. The animation and the music really holds her attention. The repititon helps her to remember. I have students asking to come in during recess and lunch times to practice their skills and have developed a waiting list and timers to accommodate them all. The games are clever and teach them a specific typing skill. The skills build sequentially yet provide opportunity for review to reinforce their learning. You get results right away so the kids can practice the keys they are not as good at striking. I give it a big 5 stars. It’s easy to load and run and has no computer problems or bugs! Typing Instructor For Kids Platinum (Windows/Mac) I bought this program based on several reviews I read. It is a great program. Even my 4 year old uses it. The games keep my kids captivated for hours and they are learning to type at the same time. Highly recommend it. There are so many educational products out there but Reader Rabbit, Richard Scary and Leap Products are among my favorites. school zone products and this was a child that couldn’t speak. out of the hardcover books she has.
In the end what matters is that she finds this edition of Reader Rabbit engaging and that she is learning from the activities and the interactive stories. Very cute characters and great quality. I purchased this for my 3 yr. 2 mo. old. I thought it would be a good time to expose her to the computer while she learns. She loves it! In two 15-20 min. sessions, she is already getting the hang of the mouse. We have tried math patterns (red, green, red, green, ____, etc.) for months at home and she didn’t want to have any part of it. When the chicken in Thinkin’ Things did it, it was the coolest thing ever. She loves the sounds and the fact that the animals all talk to her.
