    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.

    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.

    good buy 27 May 2010
    my 4 year old son really enjoyed this CD and had no problem getting from one activity to another. Only downside: sometimes the background music is a bit too loud and you can barely hear the instruction for the activity.
