This is a web-delivered Pre-K through 6th grade math and science curriculum that allows children to sign in and work at their own pace while their progress is tracked. The content has been created in Macromedia Flash, which can be both a strength and a weakness. Children are asked to read, solve problems, answer multiple choice and open-ended questions, and more. We reviewed the reading program and found the software to be easy to use and comprehensive; but some would find the lack of authentic literature to be a drawback. The informational readings were interesting, but the narrative stories were often too silly. There's too much depth and breadth/variation to this program for one single rating.
