We bought the Elementary Advantage 2007 - cannot even load it- we agree w/ the above. Americancivilwar shouldn't even attempt to sell this product. |

This product is fun even for me as an adult. The kids love it and like learning all the new things the CD has to offer. |

Elementary Advantage |

Gee, I've used the Elementary and Middle School Advantage to suppliment the "Play and Learn" books for home schooling and found it acceptable. The programs can be difficult to load on newer machines but that is not our issue. Compared with what is being taught in public schools in our area, it is nice to have the opportunity to teach/learn Spanish, typing and do spelling in a game form. There are definetly things that could be improved on but as a suppliment its acceptable and usable. I particularly found the Middle School Advantage Reading disc full of books a great asset. The elementary spelling disc could use revamping by having grade graduated lists, common mis-spelled words and words grouped together with common sounds, spellings or letter characteristics. I recommend purchasing the set at the used price of under $10. and use it as a interactive suppliment. |

Very Disappointing |

My best advice is to save your money and do more research on other products. The fancy box is misleading as the software is terribly outdated. |

Terribly Outdated. Misleading coverbox. |
I bought this in hopes of helping a 7 yr old improve his spelling and reading.
Although the title includes the year 2006, I've seen better-looking software published in 1996. I was so disappointed, especially since I had passed over similar titles costing $19.95 because I thought $39.95 would buy more content and better quality.
Still, after getting over my initial surprise, I thought that I should at least give it a good try. Then I discovered another shocker; although the box says Grades 1-5 / Ages 6+, the reading and spelling software is for ages 9-12! It says so when you load it.
Still, I ventured further. I looked at all the reading lessons, activities, and games ... I say ALL, when in fact there is only one thing on the program. One lousy game that I couldn't even figure out how to play. There are no "lessons" or "activities", just this one awful game.
So ... I gave up and looked at the spelling program. So pitifully poor! I don't recommend this software title to anyone for any reason.
Admittedly, I haven't loaded the other CD's (foreign languages, math, science, etc). And I don't think I will. I can think of better ways to waste hard drive space.
I am so disappointed! And terribly discouraged. I don't think I will be buying anymore learning software. This was my first, and it has put me off the idea altogether. |
