Part of the Weekly Reader Learning System, this is a series of Flash-based slides that combines graphics, a bit of animation, and instructions for an adult on what to say to the child. The interactive components are limited, and the content is extremely dry, and not well-matched to preschoolers. For example, the first tutorial on finger counting jumps to telling time, and then to place value; all abstract concepts that most teachers would not introduce to young children. Topics covered include Number Sense, Add, Subtract, and Multiply. There is no record keeping.
