Review Summary: Junk!
Date: 2005-03-22
Details: If you buy the Jumpstart Phonics be sure to get the right version. 1.01 is total junk. Very outdated. Tells you to press the "return key" and use the arrows instead of the mouse. I sat for 20 minutes and did my best to get my 4 year old interested. With all the other software he had he just got totally frustrated as did I!. With all that said I will probably buy the new version which is what I was trying to buy all along!
Review Summary: Big Disappointment
Date: 2003-08-07
Details: We own other Jump Start Products. This is certainly not up to their usual standards. Trying to use the microphone is extrememly irritating. I don't know if it's because my voice is the voice of an old person or if its because my grand daughter does not speak plainly (do most three year olds? but the voice interaction is very unsatisfactory as it never seems to understand what we say and keeps asking us to repeat it.
Review Summary: A review of Jump Srart Phonics - good but not phonics.
Date: 2001-11-13
Details: The software is very user friendly, in fact my two & a half year old is able to navigate it and enjoys the activities. It teaches alphabet and words and has stories but does not really teach PHONICS per se. Great beginning tool for 3 to 5 year olds but would not expect a first grader to gain much from this product. The Jump Start products have met our expectations so far.
