Nine previously released programs are incorporated into this six-CD set designed to teach and reinforce middle school subject matter. You get Expanding Our Nation (U.S. history), A+ Spanish, Super Tutor Grammar, Slam Dunk Typing, Super Tutor Spelling, Plants and Animals (natural science), BodyWorks 5.0 (anatomy), Math Advantage: Pre-Algebra, Algebra and Geometry and the American Heritage Talking Dictionary. These are all older programs with dated graphics and features, but most have solid if not excellent content. We can recommend this package as a classroom or homeschool supplement or as a homework helper or home tutor. It's also an excellent value— you're getting a lot of good content for a relatively low price.
