Jumpstart Typing
I wish to add to my review of Nov. 4: the letters are not only tiny, but also very difficult to distinguish due to the font used in the program. I don't believe it is possible to get around this, but if there is a way, please post it here!!
I noticed there are reviews here of many different Jumpstart software packages. For the record, let me state that my daughter used Jumpstart 2nd Grade (with the terrific frog and cricket characters) and 3rd Grade (with the delightful Botley and Polly) to keep up her English while attending school in Asia, and they worked like gangbusters. Thay were clever and fun ... the music was terrific ... (especially the 2nd grade Jumpstart, which could be played as a CD) even I enjoyed playing with them! We tried hard to get the same enjoyment out of Jumpstart Typing--it was just as clever in terms of content--but again, the letters are VERY tiny and difficult to distinguish--otherwise, I would probably give it four or five stars. Strange how the company could have allowed this to happen.
(By the way, between Jumpstart 2nd & 3rd grade, Reading Blaster, and Archie comic books (really), my child had no trouble reentering school in the United States after three years in in a foreign school with no English--she is now thriving! :-)

JumpStart Spanish a winner
My 5 year old loves her new JumpStart Spanish program. She has learned to count in spanish and her colors so far. Very fun games and rewards. She is really picking things up fast. We have not had any real computer problems, it has locked up once, but that has happened on other software as well. The sound works well. For the price I would recommend this as a beginning spanish program.
