    5 out of 5 stars Kindergarten Advanced Edition ROCKS!   December 1, 2008
    Ala Luke
    I just picked up this software today, and my 5 year old loves it. It has a really nice 3D adventure feel, and you can control your character to listen to and follow people into other rooms (abc, 123, counting, and math). The program does require a child to be able to know the functionality of the keyboard and mouse movements. If your child is new to the mouse and keyboard, I would not advise you to purchase this. Since our child is familiar with these, it is really fun and great learning tool at the same time. It blends a really good learning game making learn the basic and advanced skills of kindergarten. There is a nice reading part that lets your child interpret what was read to them in a story. This software has a wide variety of games and it has two levels. I believe that you need to purchase other levels to move forward in the adventure, but the first two levels makes the price of the product an incredible deal. You get a lot of games for this software. I highly recommend this!


    5 out of 5 stars Great!   November 13, 2008
    B. Patterson (Findlay, OH USA)
    I love the Jumpstart games! I agree they are a little pricey, especially if you buy the full subscription up front, but I think if you can afford it, it is a great buy. I bought the whole adventure pack last year for my 3 kids. My 10-year-old is in an MD class and functioning at a kindergarden level, my 8-year-old was repeating kindergarden at the time and my 5-year-old (age 4 then) was advanced and couldn't wait to start school. All three of them enjoy it and my 5-year-old got through the whole 12 adventures by playing while the other two were in school. My 5-year-old is now in kindergarden and is at a first grade reading level and my 8-year-old, now in first grade, is at a second grade reading level. Definitely recommend all jumpstart software.


    1 out of 5 stars Do not buy this from Amazon!!!   October 28, 2008
    Heather Homenick
    I bought this product from Amazon.com and was disappointed. There was an error on the CD-ROM. Another time I ordered children's software from Amazon and had a problem too with that CD_ROM. I advise, from these two experiences, to not buy software from Amazon.
    I had to call the company that makes the CDROM and they agreed there was an error.
    H.H.



    1 out of 5 stars greedy jumpstart makes you pay to move up levels   October 9, 2008
    Laura Grabowsky (Canton, OH United States)
    3 out of 3 found this review helpful

    My 4-year-old got through all of the levels of this program within 1-1/2 weeks. When she got through the levels she couldn't progress or see the badges that she had already earned unless I spent more money to upgrade online. (an expensive monthly fee)She can still play the game, but she can't keep progressing. Please don't waste your money on this game. After buying this game I question all other Jumpstart programs and what they may have to offer. It is a shame because the games themselves are darling and have so much potential.


    1 out of 5 stars liked the older version a lot better   May 28, 2008

    This product is supposed to be for 4 to 6 year olds but I would say it is better suited for just 6 year olds. My daughter tried to play it this morning for the first time and was very dissappointed that it was too challenging. She has been playing the Jumpstart Advanced Kindergarten 4 CD set and that one is really good. This one is composed of video arcade style games (too busy) and is not nearly as sweet as the one mentioned above. The reading game for example, assumes they can already read words like "cash register" on level one. Perhaps I need to explore this product a bit further but as far as I can tell it is completely inappropriate for your average 4 and 5 year olds.
