THIS IS AMAZING! [Posted on 2001-05-27]
I searched through all of the software for children and this really seemed like a great collection! There are 4 CD-ROM's, my daughter has totally taken to this and has made amazing progress. She is 3 1/2 and is doing addition on this game. She is learning right from left, etc. There are over 700 activities between the 3 CD's and it works with your child the better they get the harder it gets, Or you can adjust the skill level yourself. It's very kid friendly and if you child has mastered the mouse then this is the game for you. I would kiss Microsoft...for making this, this is the best software package I have ever gotten for my daughter. You can also tell this b/c she is 3 1/2 and on a 2nd graders level at school! If you are looking for something to keep the learning going during summer break or just to help at home whenever this is it. It also has a personal tutor that pops up after your child incorrectly answers something wrong twice and has progress reports so you can check your childs progess on them. I love this and can't say enough good thigns about this just buy it and see!

The BEST software for your CHILD! [Posted on 2002-01-31]
I have never seen a software package that has absolutly everything! This is the best package ever. If your children love learning they will love this set! My daughter has mastered it all! It also has progress reports so you can check and see how good they are doing! I also took it to my daughter's pre-school class because I voluteer and the teacher loves it and on wednesdays and thursdays I do this software with the kids! It also has different levels on some of the things so they can start easy and work their way up! It teaches the alphabet, numbers, left and right, up and down, beside, below, above, big, bigger, biggest, I'm telling you it has everything you will not be disapointed!

The Ultimate [Posted on 2002-04-16]
Both my daughters love this software package. It beats out all the others hands down. My 4 year old has quite the addiction problem with this game and fortunately, I can use it as leverage for getting her to clean her room or behave at the store. It is very fun and they learn at the same time. The Alphabet Playhouse is my favorite because it has some cool songs that we all sing. The music that goes along with the graphics has them singing vowels and sounding out the letters phonetically and they don't even realize it. I love the catchy tunes myself, I have to admit. It's very fun and top-notch and I would recommend this over any other program if you can find it anywhere. I snatched up My Personal Tutor for 1st grade and 2nd grade on an internet auction, it's worth seeking out.

Good value but some duff parts [Posted on 2002-12-05]
This package contains 4 CDs each with a single multi-activity game. My son loved almost everything about the first CD , Preschool workshop. It is the most attractive of the CDs and contains a good variety of activities from coloring to counting. The application encouraged exploration and provided suitably encouraging feeback using sound clips. It was interesting to watch him rapidly progess in the "spot the differences" activity, which seemed to get harder quite quickly -- since this is not unlike some IQ tests. However the other CDs in the set did not seem to interest him nearly as much. Of the remainder, Reader railway seemed to work better for him a little later and he enjoyed filling in pictures based on letter identification. I thought that Mathopolis game was poorly designed (I have a maths background).

Another Gem, What Else Can I Say? [Posted on 2004-07-02]
I have been reviewing Microsoft products for years. I cannot emphasize the quality of its products, especially this one. This package contains four disks: Preschool Workshop, Alphabet Playhouse, Reader Railway and Bonus Math CD. Four disks! Four programs! Great value...My seven year old doesn't play this anymore because it doesn't have 2nd grade written on it. That's it. The only reason....but he played the heck out of it. Parents, buy this one and pay attention to what your child says after using it for awhile. You will hear new things that he or she learned from this gem. What else can I say?
