Customer Reviews

Disappointed
Very disappointed with the educational value. So many rcade-style activities distract from skill building except for coordination skill and fine motor control. Also not very intuitive software even though it claims to have auto-help.

Jump Start 2nd Grade
My 7 year old loves this game - all 3 cds are great. He especially loves the mystery aspect of the game - it reminds me of the Carmen Sandiego mysteries I played as a kid. It also is a bit challenging - it includes the stuff that will be in his 2nd grade class.

Comparing 2nd Grade and 1st Grade
I'm having my daughter write this review. She has actually used the JumpStart programs and just finished 2nd Grade. If you think it is well written, maybe the program had domething to do with it.

Hello! Here are some notes on JumpStart Advanced 2nd Grade and how it is better and worst then JumpStart Advanced 1st Grade. One of my sisters got Advanced 1st Grade 3-CD Set for Christmas and we got 2nd Grade from the library. They are a lot alike because they both are JumpStart Advanced because the sign-in and credits both look alike, but not sound alike! I like 1st Grade music better. The 1st Grade sign-in has Kelly Club music, 2nd Grade...detective music...not as good. The credits in 1st Grade are a triumph. Starts out small, gets bigger. 2nd Grade struggles. Keeps repeating science music and sounds struggle-ish. But I do like 2nd Grade, very fun and more my age. (1st Grade is too easy) But in 1st Grade, CJ the adventurous frog can swim. Not in 2nd Grade, where they are...secret agents? All spies can swim! And 1st Grade has more characters. 2nd Grade's missing Casey the sportsy cat, Eleanor the pink elephant, Kisha the creative koala, and Pierre the musical polar bear. Maybe cuz' they are actually Preschool characters (made for JumpStart Preschool). But they have Hopsalot the inventor rabbit, a Kindergarten character! But remember: I still like 2nd Grade a lot! Here's something great about 2nd Grade: I thought that Edison would be adventurous in JumpStart Advanced 2nd Grade, but he was just the opposite! LOL! He was silly! Anyways, comparing...2nd Grade is very silly! Hopsalot said, "Clues! Clues! Clues! It gives me excuses to stay up past my bedtime to decipher them!" and 1st Grade's not very funny. Both pretty much even, and both great!
