Software
Parents,
I have begun to put together a list of educational software titles for your children. This list is bound to grow as I find new titles and am recommended others. Please let me know if you have any of these games, I will be glad to post your reviews on the web site. Also please let me know if you are aware of any other games that your child currently enjoys but is not on this list.
Please note that most of these programs are for an age range, so please pay close attention to what it says on the actual box. If a game is intended for an age range, it usually has some sort of assessment or different levels to adjust to your child’s learning curve (the JumpStart products are an example of this). You can find most of these titles on Amazon.com or through any Internet search engine; most computer game stores will also carry them.
