JumpStart 1st Grade

Delivery Time: 7 to 15 Working Days Format: Software

In this interactive classroom filled with animation and song. Take field trips to the beach and zoo. Read 50 illustrated stories from 8 interactive books with the help of Ms. Flores your teacher. In all, discover 18 activities teaching geography, science, early math, reading comprehension, music and more!
Kids will jump at the chance to join Frankie the dog for a treasure hunt (even if the final object is to learn basic math and spelling skills). But it's clear that JumpStart 1st Grade isn't the "play-for-play's-sake" type of game by the academic style of the questions kids are asked to answer. In addition, parents can view reports to track their child's progress.

We advise that adults initially play this game with kids, since it's not always clear where to click next to keep the story moving. It can take a little while for kids to get oriented with what they are supposed to do in the game's activities. Also, the content in the games can lead to questions: synonym matching and fractions, for example, might be puzzling even with the cartoon teacher's explanations. For more difficult quizzes, we recommend using the option of turning on a tutor.

The best part of the JumpStart series is the wide range of topics that children are exposed to: science, art, mathematics, and grammar basics. JumpStart: 1st Grade adheres to this pattern. The software also provides great positive reinforcement as kids get the right answers, both visually (in the form of treasure pieces) and audibly (with the feedback of Frankie). JumpStart exists to reinforce lessons taught in school and is a colorful way for kids to practice their newly learned skills.
Join Frankie and friends in an interactive 1st-grade classroom that's loaded with games and activities. Learn over 90 different educational skills in 18 activity modules that teach reading, science, math, and more. The software is designed for multiple age groups or multiple children within a family. The content-rich programs for age-appropriate levels allow children to progress at their own pace.
