    Starting reading5
    I have just purchased this for my daughter age 5(reception). Its spot on for where she is now at school. My son age 6 also loves it,but I think its too easy for him. This is school work without the complaining from the kids. Great item to buy for any kids.

    Learning *is* fun with Hopsalot.5
    The JumpAhead series is always pitched very well for the age range. Initially I thought they'd got this one wrong as, when I checked it, I thought it'd be too hard. However, my 5yo loves it and needed to work just hard enough on the easiest setting. It uses a UK alphabet (Zed rather than Zee) and contains an overall 'quest' to find buried treasure with clues given when completing mini-tasks each having 3 difficulty levels. There is a lot to uncover but we've seen sounds, spelling, vowels, first letters, case, rhymes etc.
    There's still the same JumpsAhead problem with some slow loading but the animation is pretty good and the characters range from cutesey to quite funky.

    Yet another quality learning title5
    My little girl has already played the Jumpahead Preschool series to death, so was keen to get her teeth into something more challenging.

    This is again very well presented, with each game having skill levels so your child will not be overwhelmed or discouraged the first time they play the game. They will also have definate goals to aim at as they master the games at each skill level.

    Its great watching them learn without realising it!
