JumpStart Kindergarten

From Children's Software Revue Not to be confused with the first JumpStart Kindergarten that was released in 1994, this more recent version contains three additional activities and has improved graphics plus a stronger emphasis on phonics. After typing in his or her name, your child sees a pleasant looking kindergarten classroom. Clicking on any object in the classroom will launch one of 18 activities. There's a nice variety of choices, from a game that reinforces the concepts of left and right, to an open-ended clock exploration game. The structured activities automatically adjust in challenge level, and kids earn gold stars that accumulate and win them a trip to the petting zoo. Like the original version, this update playfully presents important kindergarten concepts. Teaches: pre-reading, math, phonics, telling time Age Range: 4-6 Copyright 2000 Children's Software Revue
