Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Learning Ladder Preschool is an excellent CD-ROM packed with a wide range of activities for 3-5 year olds. Woody the Pencil guides children through the different activities, which are very well explained.

Children will enjoy becoming familiar with the mouse and navigating around the room making toys move and change. They will also enjoy doing the different activities such as painting the colouring book, having a go at recording their voice, listening to a story, doing puzzles and much more.

By clicking on the different bears children can carry out activities related to words, numbers, time, directions/space, shapes and nature/objects. Each of these areas contains 18 different games for children to play, so there is plenty to keep them occupied. There's also a good range of activities, many of which support the Early Years Curriculum at school. For example, there are activities that work on identifying sounds in words and on ordering, counting, matching, etc.

Children are rewarded with stickers when they complete an activity correctly and they will love collecting these in the sticker book. This would be an excellent buy for parents who want to introduce their child to using the computer in a fun and educational way. --Amanda York

4.0 out of 5 stars Good value - but lose Woody!, 19 Jul 2003
By A Customer
My son is 3 and loves this CD, although he needs help with some of the activities. He especially loves winning his stickers and pasting them into his sticker book. The activities are well thought out, entertaining and educational.
BUT...
Please someone - anyone! - tell me how to turn off Woody the pencil! I thought I'd met the ultimate irritation with Microsoft's paperclip, but this is 10 times worse! The program does not allow enough time before Woody appears on the screen to hurry the user up, which is very off-putting for a child who is getting the hang of a new game. Also, I really don't like some of the comments - calling a pre-school child "lazy" and sarcastically enquiring "Anybody out there?!" when answers aren't typed fast enough is appalling.

4.0 out of 5 stars Dorling Kindersley software is excellent., 2 Oct 2001
I first discovered how good DK software was when I bought my daughter Play & Learn:Reading and Counting. She absolutely loved it and I was very impressed with the simplicity and style of it. I would put it on and leave her to it! Learning Ladder is a natural progression from this and I find it invaluable for supporting my daughter's school education. She loves this software and will spend hours doing the activities not realising she is learning at the same time she is having so much fun. I would highly recommend this software to anyone with children under 5. Dorling Kindersley is now my educational software of choice.

5.0 out of 5 stars My 4 Year Old's Favourite!, 12 Jan 2003
I purchased this CD ROM after reading good reviews about it and my daughter who is an avid user of her laptop and owns a variety of other software, loves this one more than any other.

She would spend hours on it if I allowed her to, as the capacity of the CD is so big. It keeps her challenged and entertained and I feel assured that she is learning new letter, number, time and direction skills as well as a variety of others which I believe fit in well with what she is currently learning in her school reception class.

Tasks are rewarded with stickers which the child can then place in an interactive sticker book, one by one. There is also a section where you can check on your child's progress.

If only all software could be as fun, rewarding and challenging as this one!
