Don't let the copyright date fool you into thinking this title is outdated by any means. It has all the features you would expect from a current curriculum-based software title, and more. Humongous Entertainment has tended to be ahead of their time. The range of activities is fantastic and educational content is high. This title contains some activities that are more challenging than most first-grade programs on the market.
Feedback is very positive.
This program truly makes learning fun. Children love the original characters and activities. Design A Smart Chart feature keeps track of SmartStars earned in each category. Children need to do a fair amount of exploring to get to the activities at the outset, but soon will get to know where to locate their favorites. Important icons pop up when kids move their cursor to the bottom of the screen, and they use these to exit the game, change the difficulty levels, print out a screen, and check on their Smart Stars.
