A short while ago, I received an offer to test Time4Learning.com in exchange for an honest review of the program. My girls, ages 12 and 8, were eager to try out this new program. They love to be my guinea pigs.
Overall, the girls really enjoyed the program and it is the first educational program that they have consistently asked to do. That was the main thing that impressed me. It got their attention and kept it. Rarely do I have to tell them to stop doing something educational, but this was the exception. As a home educating family, we used this as the main course of study for the girls. My 12 year old daughter enjoyed it the most and found it challenging, in a good way. My 8 year old, who is a struggling reader, had a harder time maneuvering through the site, so of course, required my assistance on many of the tasks she did.
I personally found the site a little difficult to move around in. I wasn't sure where they should be working at any given time and found that they didn't complete as many assignments as I thought they were. I'm not sure if we weren't sure on how to complete the assignments or if we were closing them out wrong, but much of the time it showed they weren't complete when they were, from our perspective anyway.
My girls review is simply "We like it". I asked them if there was anything they didn't like about the program, to which they responded, "no, we really like it". I guess that's about the most simple review I can give. If they like it, I'm sold.
