So I waited for price to fall. Nothing. I checked Craigslist, Amazon, all the hot spots. This program is holding it's value, there must be a reason. So I look into it a little more. After a year, I finally bought Level 4, full price, at a homeschool convention. And let me tell you. It rocks for my oldest.
Ramses loves computer games, but he's also a huge people pleaser, so when I gave him some math workbooks to work through, he grinned and bore it. I could tell he was NOT loving it though. So after a year of hard work and no complaining (ok just a little), I splurged and bought TT. Ramses opened it and started it and hasn't looked back since. I don't have to remind him to do his math. He's either already done it or in the process. He listens to the lecture at the beginning of each lesson, does the practice problems, and by the end of the lesson, he's mastered the concept--all while I was doing something else! It's wonderful!
He loves it so much he got Goldie interested in it, and she was begging me to do the program. She's only in 2nd grade, but I told her if she could understand it she could do it, and she's just a few lessons behind Ramses now, and loves it just as much.
It is GREAT to have something my kids love to learn with, that also allows them to be independent, freeing me to
The beginning of the CD is a lot of review of past math concepts, but I'm letting them do each lesson as a solid review. The lecturer's voice is decent, and the program is quite intuitive. I have the big spiral workbook that accompanies the CD, but haven't busted it out yet. Maybe I'll pull it out later in the year when they need more practice, but as for me recommending this product, I endorse it 100%!
