Time 4 Learning Review

I know I said I was going to wait to give a review on this program, but when something works why wait? My son is 5 and in kindergarten this year. I tried a few curriculums with him that just didn't work for us. Some he downright hated! I didn't want his first experience with learning to be a chore.

I had seen Time 4 Learning in the past and thought I would try it out. They have a 2 week trial period so I knew I could give it a try and see how he responded. He is a typical 5 year old boy who has trouble sitting still for seat work. But he loves the computer. That's what this program uses to teach - your computer. So far it is working very well for us. He loves all the animation and "games" - but they aren't games at all. It is geared so that learning is fun and at this age that is VERY important. He is learning alphabet recognition and sounds, rhyming, numbers and counting. He is learning and that is the bottom line. And his motor skills are progressing because he is learning how to use the mouse to point and click. Of course we still do some seat work, but the bulk of his learning is done on the computer and he can finish in about 15 minutes per day. He usually asks to do more! I sit with him to make sure he understands the instructions and he is grasping them very well.

It costs about $20 per month and I find that reasonable. So far, we are loving it. I'll review more as we go along. So Time 4 Learning gets a big thumbs up from me!
