Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Jump Ahead Year One supports the National Curriculum for five to six-year-olds. The CD-ROM is another excellent program by Focus Multimedia in their "Children" series, "a range of educational entertainment that not only keeps the little ones quiet, but teaches them essential core skills and tentatively introduces them into the realms of computing."

Franky the Dog has been enlisted to help in the classroom, making recipes, serving up lunch, among other fun activities, all of which teach basic maths skills (addition and subtraction, simple fractions, telling the time, money value and quantities); reading skills (stories and poems, reading comprehension, vocabulary, rhyme, language skills and visual discrimination); and art and music (creativity, music and memory, listening to songs on the jukebox, basic composition skills and listening skills). All these activities are presented in a fun way and offer opportunities at different levels with progress reports, assessments and a printable workbook. There is also a pamphlet containing basic technical and installation information, which should be read before starting. This is an updated version of the award-winning original and is well worth investing in as it will occupy and educate children effortlessly. --Susan Naylor

jump ahead year 1 13 Mar 2003
this is an excellent cd, my kids absolutely love it. There are loads of different levels and activities to tackle, with different levels of difficulty. Each completed task wins points to play a game, so children are encouraged to continue playing until enough points are won ...really worth the money..

Works on XP too 29 Dec 2003
Good, cheap CD rom for children in year 1. After owning the Starting school jump ahead CD ROM, my daughter got straight into this one and loves it. Well worth the money.

A must buy 24 Oct 2003
By A Customer
This is the best thing I have bought for my children in ages (aged 4 & 5)they are both addicted and it has actually given my youngest the interest and confidence to use the computer rather than just watch. They are still finding new things to do and I will certainly be buying more in this series.

Could not load
For some reason this disc failed to load and had to be returned. However, I also bought the french disc and that was fine.

Some of this was age-appropriate for my 4.5 yr.old but the text comes up very small on the tiny amount of screen it uses, which is a nonsense when learning to read. Read more
