Advantages: easy to use, easy to subscribe to

Disadvantages: 1st issue is confusing how toinstall both floppies until you get the hang of it, then it is easy, hard to unsubscribe

I have had 35 issues of this magazine when it first came out and would recommend it to anyone, who has young children going through their key stage 1 and 2.
It makes learning fun and gives them the answers if they are wrong, in such a way, that they are not disappointed and want to keep playing, every now and again, if you subscribe, you get plenty of freebies., the floppies are always easy to load and keep your child's name and progress updated .

they have maths games, whereby your child has division, subtraction, adding and multiplication games, they are very colourful with sounds for each section, right and wrong answers and lots of verbal praise, telling them how brilliant they are.

they also have a basic french course with foods/items to do with france and they have pronounciation (thru your speakers) for the child to get it right, alphabet, counting and phrases.

english, is word games, like find the missing letter, hangman games, which word is missing from a sentence, how do you spell....

science are things for you to investigate on the computer and in the magazine at home.

all in all a great magazine, the magazine and floppy disc/cd are altogether well worth the price, they both have excellent graphics and sounds and i enjoyed using it with my children, they have a telephone helpline, if any issues fail to arrive, replacements are sent straight away.

the only disadvantage was when i tried to unsubscribe, i still kept having the money taken out of my bank and after numerous phone calls, i eventually got it returned with some freebies.
