Customer Review(s)
Customer Rating: Summary: Fun. Engaging. Don't expect it to last ... Comment: My daughter enjoyed it very much, but reached the adventure goal in about a week. She'll play it again, but it's not as captivating for her now. The level of difficulty of the educational part of the adventure did not seem to progress as well (i.e., as widely) as their 3rd grade adventure.
Customer Rating: Summary: Clue Finders 4th Grade Adventures Comment: My nine year old son loved this CD! He would play this CD for an hour or more and beg for more time with it. It's a very interesting program and has very comprehensive material. I was impressed with the reading material and language skill activities. I thought this CD was appropriately labeled for 4th grade. The material centers around archaology and science, and an adventure in ancient Egyptian hyrogliphs. My only complaint was that it's not a long program. My nine year old was disappointed when he finished the CD because he wanted there to more levels. I think he completed the whole CD within a week, however, when he did play it, it was for lengthy intervals.
Customer Rating: Summary: my child chooses this over TV or a DVD! Comment: This is excellent learning software. My child got it when she was in 2nd grade and it was a serious challenge. Now that she is in 4th grade, it is too easy, but she still loves to go thru it. It really is good and useful for her development, both in reading and math. One thing that is great about it is that it is not just a glorified multiple choice exam as far too software programs are: she has to spell, do fractions, and the like. Plus, they story is fun and she does not tire of it.
Warmly recommended.
Customer Rating: Summary: Great software Comment: This is a great software! I bought this in June 2000. I didn't get some of it. Now I got older and smarter. And understand this better! The location is better. Egypt is very ancient. I also did these other ClueFinders software, 3rd Grade, 5th Grade, 6th Grade, Math, Reading, Search & Solve, Incredible Toy Store Adventure!, and the second CD-Rom Mystery Mansion Arcade! And I'm not even in 4th, 5th or 6th.
Customer Rating: Summary: So much fun you forget you're learning! Comment: This is a great program. I got it for my 3rd grade daughter and we both thought it was a lot of fun. It covers areas such as fractions, logic, sentence structure and geography. You have to collect different items that let you progress through the games. This is all done by completing the various puzzles and activities. The game progresses like an adventure story. You have to complete one activity before having the option to go on to others. She used the various JumpStart and Reader Rabbit programs when she was younger, and I wanted something fun to teach those basic skills now that she's older. This is JUST what I was looking for. We both highly recommend this series!
