Early Learning Tools: Knowledge Adventure

Knowledge Adventure recently released four titles under its new JumpStart Advanced software series, which is based on the standards of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics and the National Council of Teachers of English, as well as major state standards. The programs, distributed by Sunburst, are targeted for students in preschool through second grade and reinforce core skills. The series ensures that children understand important concepts by providing supplementary lessons tailored to their individual learning styles.
