Rating: - Great educational CD-rom
My son loves these CD-roms. He is almost 5 and plays them a lot. He is learning quite a bit. Plus, there are 3 different levels, so as he gets better, he gets more challenged. I'm impressed with this.
My son is learning to read with this. He is recognizing words that he hasn't known before. I feel very good about letting him play this.
Rating: - Do not use on Mac OS X
The game works fine on our Windows machine. It keeps my 4 year old interested. But the game does not run well in the "Classic" mode when using OS 10.3 (panther).
Rating: - Mac users, beware
This may be a fine product, but I will never know. Don't buy the product if you hope to use it on a PowerPC Mac running OS 10.4 and OS 9.2. While the system requirements for the CD state that the CD works with any Mac OS after 7.X it does not appear to be possible to even install it on a modern Apple computer. (Caveat: This may run on an Intel Mac with Bootcamp, but I haven't tested it in that operating environment.)
I am not a software engineer, but I am a sophisticated user of Apple computers. My guess is that if I cannot install this program on my system, your average Apple computer user will not be able to either. Just a world to the wise in the we-don't-support-mac software wars.
Rating: - Clifford Reading
Clifford Reading does not have a lot of activities as compared with Clifford Phonics. My daughter hates this cd but always asks for Clifford Phonics instead. The Bleakman cleanup activity was upsetting to her because in her words "they were mean and angry" and I do agree. I wish they could have kept the tone in that game nice and reinforcing. I would not recommend this cd if you have a child sensitive to disapproving/angry tones. However she loves Clifford Phonics!
Rating: - 5-yr-old's first choice
I got this for my three-year-old son, who found it just difficult enough to need lots of help when he tries to play with it. But my five year-old loves it!! I think it's too easy for her but she asks for it more often than any of her other discs. So even though it's easy, the graphics and the activities are all really fun to her. I will look forward to my younger son growing into it.
