Jump Start 2nd Grade

5 Rating: 5, Useful: 19 / 20

A fun, animated, interactive learning tool which helps children learn while entertaining them. It takes the "pain" out of learning and really holds their attention. My son really believed he was writing to pen pals with the software and it made it more fun for him. It covered the basics of spelling and grammar plus some math skills, geography and more. The kids like to see their own progress as they advance through the different levels.

Excellent educational tool

My daugter just finished her 1st grade. I needed to give her some challange for the summer, so I bought this softwear. My wife loved it, because now my daughter spend a lot of time on it instead of driving my wife crazy. Plus, my other daughter (she'll be in 1st grade) is learning a lot form her sister by just watching her. My daughter comes to me with some questions (why? / how?) which helps me explain things to her visaully. I also bought Jumpstart woorkbook for both of my daugters and they work great.

This is good game that will prepare your child for the 2nd grade but may not work with Windows XP Home Edition.

Boring....

I bought this for my six year old son who has thoroughly enjoyed the Reader Rabbit series since they have flexibility built in. This software is so rigid that he lost interest in about 10 minutes and announced that we could give it away.It is not fun.

Excited about Learning

I love ALL Jump Start Learning Activities. I bought the Kindergarten, 1st Grade and 2nd Grade. My son loves these programs also, he can't wait to get started on 3rd Grade. I'm so happy to see my son playing with this educational game and I'm sure any parent would want to see their children excited about learning.

Fun game even after I Finished

I'm not xactly a kid anymore, but this is easier.
Anyway, I LOVED this game when I got it from school, it helped me a little and even after I FINISHED 2nd grade, I played it through 5th grade just because it was fun. My little sister also had a fun time with this game when she was in 2nd grade, I highly recommend ths for kids :)

I feel kind of weird writing this review because I don't even know why I looked it up in the first place, but I thought it might be interesting for potential buyers to get a perspective from someone who's played the game as a child.

I played through this game with my younger brother when we were in elementary school. We both LOVED IT to pieces. The characters are entertaining, the games are engaging and informative, and of course, fun. I loved the loose story and the quest for stamps and have nothing but fond memories of the entire experience. Indeed, I think it says something when even now, many years later, I still look back on this game and smile. I can still remember the music and characters' voices and all the fun times my brother and I had together going through the puzzles.

I think games like this really helped instill a love of learning in both my brother and myself. We went on to play Jump Start Third and Fourth Grade - both fantastic games in themselves - and really, I know part of it might just be me being a nostalgic 90's kid in general, but I don't feel like there are enough games like this these days. Too many games are based on marketable characters and merchandise. Here's an old classic for you. It's just for fun and learning. :)

We love it!

We find this 2nd grade Jumpstart to be very fun and entertaining. My daughter (twin #1) loves the log ride (math and vocabulary) and football field math. Daughter #2 likes the bone vault (vocabulary and math) and the classroom where she can do art and vocabulary. We all giggle about some of the silly rhymes. Both also like the record player. They do not like the save the universe game, as it is hard to hear the clues. They give it two thumbs up.

great games!

We've been buying JumpStart games for the computer since before my eldest daughter started kindergarten. Now that she's headed for 2nd grade, we upgraded and she's been learning braille and doing more math and reading. It's great to see her engaged on the computer with a game she's learning things from!
