Our experience:
I really liked how easy this program was to install, set up and use. It does a good job explaining the concepts and providing problems to work through giving the student immediate feedback.

Eventhough I do not have a first grader, I had my three school-aged children (who have very different learning styles) look at the program. My analytical, straight forward child thought the program was fine. My very social and vocal child that the program was ok. But, my kinestetic hands-on child thought the program moved too slowly and wouldn't like to learn math in this way.
My only complaint about this program is that the parent must keep up with the Lesson Plans and manually review the requested sections. Review work is not automatically built into the interactive portion of the program.
