    I'm not sure about the product. I couldn't get it to work properly. I played one game to test it, but couldn't download any of the several others. Encore Software's customer service is awful. I called an hour before their closing time, but the recording said to call back during business hours. Please explain?!?! I emailed them and they shrugged me off. Doesn't look like they will be in business long. I was hoping to have this for my kids for Christmas. I will keep looking for educational software that works. DON'T BUY THIS PRODUCT. I read the other reviews, and thought I might have a different experience. I didn't. Thankfully Amazon was willing to refund my money. I advised them to remove the product until Encore works out the bugs.

    This software is very good. I installed it on my daughters Windows 7 laptop and it runs perfectly. I actually purchased the software over a year ago using Amazon download. My daughter loves it. She is homeschooled. The software is very exciting, has lots of games, and is very interactive. It covers a lot of subjects ranging from multiplication/division, addition/subtraction, all the way to grammar and reading exercises. It teaches spanish, has chess game, and Mavis Beacon typing game in it. Elementary Advantage is for grade levels K-5.

    Did I mention that it also teaches phonics. The software is so good, I spend a lot of time with my daughter just listening to it teach. The software starts from low level difficulty and gradually raises the difficulty level over time without the child really noticing it.

    I honestly feel that the software is better than most public school classrooms because my daughter spends hours on it and she starts telling me word for word what she's learned about grammar as well as the other topics the software teaches.

    The software allows for more than one child to use it through the use of profiles. Its provides very low level simplistic grading system using different color stars. Bronze, Silver, Gold.

    There is a downside to the this software and that is if you need to use it to keep records of progress and curriculum for states that require it, this program does not do a good job of that. The reports it produces are more for the child themselves and not for adults.

    Overall I rate it a 4. I would have given it a 5 if it had better progress reporting system and performance tracking built in.

    I highly recommend it. Your child will love it and their grades will improve. You will see them learn so much on their own without a teacher or parent looking over their shoulders. That's when the real learning starts when the child learns for the enjoyment of learning instead of it being a chore.

    I do not know if this program will run on Windows 8 although I will be testing it in the near future. I plan to purchase a Windows 8 tablet pc so she can use this program along with other educational websites/software when we are out traveling or sight seeing.

    I am not satisfied with this product. I purchased it and started out using the alphebets. When I tried to open the other button, it continued to say may sure you have the cd inserted. I downloaded the product. I reported it but they do not know what is going on. I have been instructed to keep in contact for a solution. I will be sending this back.

    I downloaded this, and cannot use because I get an error message asking me to insert the disk. Obviously, with this being a digital download, there is no disk, and it doesn't work. When I called Amazon Customer Service, they were great as always, but they told me that they normally don't do returns on digital downloads, but would make an exception for me because the download is unusable. So, just in case you don't get the same exception, don't waste your time or money with this program because chances are it won't work for you too...

    I have a 11 year old that is autistic and is behind in some levels. Sitting down and having him do it on pen and paper was frustrating for him. This game him a chance to do his work but in a fun way for him

    Reviewed in the United States on March 9, 2020
    I would LOVE to use this product but the activation key does not work. I do not know who to contact to make it work but I did spend a good amount of money for something that I cannot use. It is in my Amazon library and the activation key available is incorrect. I either need a refund or an activation key.
