Knowledge Adventure Jump Start 4th Grade

Good product but does not have the haunted island game my son was hoping for.

I was so excited to find it but it doesnt work in our computer.

none

Keeps my son easily entertained and he gets so excited each level he completes.

works on windows 98 and nothing newer~

I got this for my 8 year old son to use during the summer before 3rd grade. I figured it might be a little hard but was hoping that with the different levels it would be challenging but not too frustrating for him. Its been great. I admit, it doesnt have the cool graphics or interactive interface that the jumpstart worlds have, but my son loves it and its been really great practice in all areas. I had to help him learn some of the math concepts (how to simplify fractions, rules for rounding large numbers, etc.) but now hes doing it all on his own. The geography section is pretty hard too, and it would be awesome if there was something they could click on for a hint, but with a little patience hes been learning lots of cool facts and is learning great geography. Overall, definitely a great value (although as Im writing this my son just said he thinks he beat the game, and weve only had it a week . . . =-)

I love this product. I would purchase again! the description for this product is exactly what it says it is.

We are a homeschooling family. The Jump start series has been wonderful. My three children are all working above grade level and love to learn. I just purchased the Jump start 4th and 5th grade and I am happy to say that finally something is challenging my kids.

We have been using the JS games for several years. I like the basic version (not the Advanced) for all of them. The games are age and grade appropriate, and there is an area (Tutor Times) where players/students can read about the subjects being tested, which is particularly useful for geography, art, and history.

as with the sixth grade jumpstart kids love it.
