Review
All of the Arthur programs have had a minor redesign- the addition of arcade games to play after all of the educational activities have been completed. In this 1st Grade program, Arthur and his classmates are determined to win a good deed contest. Kids help Arthur do good deeds by playing activities around town while learning reading, math, grammar and critical thinking skills. In one activity, children help Arthur get to his baby sister by crossing tiles with specific attributes like red with polka-dots. In another game, they help negotiate a stream full of moving logs, fish and frogs by estimating when it’s safe to cross. Children will find a two-player board game in which they add numbers together to move from space to space. There’s also a second CD with some printable away from the computer activities. The software keeps detailed records of kids’ progress and automatically adjusts the challenge level according to children’s responses. While the activities are pretty much standard fare and become repetitive rather quickly, there are plenty to choose from.
