Middle School Advantage 2002
© 2001 Encore Software
Eleven older programs are included in this bundle, which unfortunately, is not as good as last year's model. Many of the programs in the 2002 version are mediocre at best. Two exceptions are DK's Ultimate Human Body 2.0 and Typing Tutor 9. Fairly good are A+ Spanish and the Millennium Encyclopedia. Also included are science and history programs from Zane Publishing— these resemble textbooks/slideshows, but are on CD-ROM. Encore's own Essential Review Grammar and Vocabulary CDs, and Compton's Learning Math for Middle School are both poorly designed. If you can find a copy, we recommend the 2001 version of Middle School Advantage instead.
