Jolly Phonics: Resources CD

Our girls use the CD both for learning and as a game. The Learning element requires supervision for real benifit

Like another review I have read my ant game does not work either, apart from that my 4 year old loves it

I bought this for my son who is just about to turn 4. His nursery teacher said he has refused to try and write letters and he had shown no interest when i attempted to teach him letter sounds. I bought the music cd and played it in the background when he played and i noticed he was enjoying ocassionally singing along. I tried this CD Rom, not expecting a great deal and within one week he now knows all of the first group of letter sounds (SATNIP). He asks to play the games every day and i can't believe how interested he is and how well he is doing! He thinks its great fun and is so proud when i praise him. Since playing the games, when i read to him, he has started picking out letters and he realises that letters make words. The cd has different levels of difficulty and the easy level is perfect for him. I can not recommend this cd rom enough! Worth every penny!!!!!!

We were getting along fine with this product until we used the ants carrying letters, we got past the first row of flowers grown in the garden, but then when 2nd troop of ants came along they did not have any white letters on their backs, which made it impossible to play that game. This is very disappointing and we would very much like Amazon to contact Jolly Phonics and replace the item or refund the money.

Excellent purchase very pleased - it has kept my 4 1/2 yr old entertained well and starts simply encouraging continued participation without being off putting. Can see it will have several months of use. Only fault is that it has one 'game' - tracing letters using the mouse - which is very hard to do even when experienced with both letter and mouse and does not really help with learning to write. Good supplement to lots of real reading and writting - espeically for a boy who is relucant to sit still. Worked fine with Vista
