Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Learning Ladder Year 4 is a fantastic CD-ROM aimed at Year 4 children. It is structured so that children listen to a lesson and then carry out exercises that help to consolidate the literacy and numeracy they are learning as part of the school curriculum.
Exercises can be done at five different levels of difficulty, so that children are challenged and continue to make progress. For every 400 points that a child scores, they are rewarded with new pictures to use with the printing machine. As they gather more pictures they can enjoy making their own cards, invitations and labels, which can be printed out.
Children can also have lots of fun navigating around Science City and learning lots of facts along the way. For example, they can have a go at the science quiz and find out about roots, leaves and flowers. The progress tracker clearly shows how each child is getting on with a system of green and red lights. This would quickly show parents where more help is needed. --Amanda York

Customer Reviews

I have recently purchased this item, and my 8 year old has been steadily working through the exercises. The Navigation through the system, and the exercises themselves are well structured, with appropriate questions at the right level. The downside is the lack of intelligence in the progression from one exercise to another and to the rewards section: While working on any given question, the programme advises the user "For the next exercise click on the roller skate" - unfortunately it does this at 5 second intervals even when the user is trying to do the exercise - eventually you have to turn the sound off or go mad. My son finds this very offputting. The explanation of how the reward system works, by giving the user a picture and how to use it, is repeated in full every time, rather than just once - again very irritating.

Brilliant - my child loves it can't get her off the computer! Very well laid out and very interesting almost like not learning when you are
