Elementary Advantage 2007 [Posted on 2007-05-24]
A bit of a dissapointment. With multiple children at age levels that fit the advertised grade 1 - 5, I was surprised that grade level distinctions were not clear. Math Trek 1, 2, 3 included grade levels K to 3; Trek 4,5,6 did not have clear instruction on what the grade levels were. Also, one child is in Grade 1, and we found some of the topics more like Pre-K, K. It was a bit boring for the 1st grader. Science only had treks 4,5, 6 and seemed inappropriate for grade 1 and 2; maybe a 3rd grader could hang. What happened to science for Grade 1 - 3? I want to be fair. We recently purchased the product, so we are still exploring. But I was surprised that each child does not have to sign in. How do you track progress? Reviews of the 2006 product had similar complaints. I gambled and hoped that 2007 would be better, but it does not seem to be. But hey, I purchased it for less than $12 including shipping ($4.95 or something like that ex shipping). It was worth the gamble, and I think there will be some value in the end. But I sure am glad I didn't pay full price. I would have been pissed!

Cheesy, lame, slow let-down. [Posted on 2007-11-14]
I concur with Education Advocate's assessment of this software. I, too, gambled on this product since it was cheap - further proof positive that you get what you pay for, I suppose. My kiddo was instantly bored and the interface is so babyish compared to this age group's slick high-tech interests that I wish I had saved my change and bought something different.
