Summary: Very useful software
Comment: I found this software very useful and it kept my son engrossed for a long time, he loves the sticker rewards for each task completed.
My only grip is that there are no instructions, although we quickly worked out how what to do once we clicked around a few times.

Summary: It's getting old now
Comment: I was very dissapointed with this release. It's now 6 years old, but there was no mention of the release date, so it came as a surprise to me to see ancient graphics and ideas and an annoying Timmy Mallet sounding "guide". There must be better software out there now for Keystage development
Customer Rating:
Summary: Perfect distraction
Comment: Finally, something educational that distracted my son from his xbox. He sat for 2 hours using this software and was totally engrossed. He loved the sticker rewards, just like so many sticker books stacked on his bedroom shelf. He came away with a great sense of achievment. Apart from being a fun way to learn, it is a postive experience and is helping my son's confidence.
I'm off to buy Year 4

Summary: Fantastic fun while learning.
Comment: I bought this software to help give my dyslexic 7 year old a little confidence during the summer holidays. Not only has she enjoyed it but my other, younger kids also enjoyed playing with it, as have several of the neighbours kids. They all think its fun and not like learning at all (?)
Customer Rating:
Summary: Another Great Title From the DK Stable
Comment: This is a great way to get reluctant scholars to apply themselves to Maths and English. There are also modules on telling the time, nature and geography. The work modules are first class and are of the high standard that we have come to expect from Dorling Kindersley. However there are a couple of negatives that stop me from awarding this five stars: firstly the interface is cumbersome - on completion of a task for the first time, children are rewarded with a sticker for their digital sticker book. However, moving from the work area to the sticker book and back to the work area is time consuming and unnecessarily complicated (you can save several sticers to stick in at the end, but children like to see the results of their hard work at the time). Secondly, you have to listen to every sound clip and there does not appear to be a way to "double-click" through it. Having said that, children are less likely to be put off by this and they will be more tolerant of the grating voice of the "host" - a talking pencil called Dash Scribble. However, when you get down to the Maths and English modules the units are well thought out and offer a fun alternative to homework - my eight year old son will often choose to do Learning Ladder over more conventional maths homework. All in all, this is great value for money and complements school work perfectly. So, if you can set aside the adult gripes about the interface, I can heartily recommend it to anyone with a child in, or about to go into Year 3, anywhere in the world.
