Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I can't truthfully say if it is a decent product or not because it keeps crashing my computer operating on XP and I can't figure out why. I have to say that this is not the first time this has happened with DK software. I had the same problem with a math title a while back. I don't seem to have that problem with any other of edu software I get for my kid.
But what is preventing me from trying harder to solve that problem, however, is the fact that the tutor/narrator has a strong British accent. This would be ok for most US kids who have English as their first language, but it is not ok for kids who are learning English. (And I want to use this program with a mixed group of kids.) I tried to overlook it except when he asked me to spell the word "bought" and instead of the broad vowel sound like "baaawt" it came out all clipped like the guy's mouth was hardly opened. I didn't get to see if there was any British spelling because in my trials in between crashes, I didn't come across any words that would have had differences between British and American spelling. But funny how the description wouldn't mention the Brit-speak!
