Look no further if you having nothing yet for reading readiness! July 26, 2008

Basically this set was a compilation of various learning activities my son already had.
-Flash cards: upper- and lower-case, separately
-Picture cards: pictures of different things starting with the same letter, like bat, bell, bird, etc. I was annoyed that many of the cards in our set were doubles.
-Stickers
-A storybook with laminated pages (a small one which is similar to one of those paper books you get in Chick-fil-A kids' meals)
-Workbooks - nice ones
-CDs
-Progress posters at different levels
I think this system is great - it's everything you need to get started. I feel though that if you have the "guts" of this system already, like other preschool curriculum books/workbooks, age-appropriate picture books, flash cards, etc., then you won't really need all of this again. If you don't have anything else though, look no further!!
One thing I'd recommend doing is scanning the pages of the workbooks and printing out what you need in B&W. I keep several copies of each page on-hand in folders. I want to use this for my other two young children when they are old enough (yes I have two more under 2!), and didn't want the books written in. Hope that helps!
I found the Parent's Guide useful in planning lessons.
Great Head Start July 16, 2008
Lisa Haasbroek (South Africa)
My daughter turns three next month, and expressed an interest in reading, so we thought we'd give this program a try. I was worried about the cost at first, but it really is worth the money! She loves it, and asks excitedly to "play the ABC game" each morning. The videos are cute and playful, and the games are simple to learn. Because she's on the young side, we do a bit more repetition than an older child might need, and tend to do lessons for short bursts throughout the day rather than in just one 20-minute session. Still, it's such a minimal investment of our time for such big results. She's been using the program for a week, and is already recognizing letters. I'd recommend this program to anyone.
Great for my son with ADHD February 20, 2008

I was excited about this product because it has been very difficult to get my son with ADHD to focus on learning activities. I really needed to find a way to hold his interest and get him excited about learning.
He really liked the workbooks and coloring in the letters. He also enjoyed most of the corresponding review activities and games. This system really helped by giving more structure to what I was already doing. It gave me a better sense of direction and confidence when I was working with him. Before I felt like I was just "winging it." I also started running out of ways to make learning fun, and this program gave me more than enough ways to keep my son involved.
It's great for ADHD kids because it's fun, and there are charts and stickers that reinforce progress. My son now knows most of his letters, and is beginning to learn his letter sounds. I think he has also picked up some sight words from having the books read to him. The books are very simple and he has learned from the repetition. I haven't gotten to the CD Rom's yet because I knew that if we started there, it would be difficult to get him off the computer. However, I anticipate that the quality will be good, and he'll spend a lot of time playing with them on the computer.
