A little less educational than I thought...
By on 2003-12-29
Though we love Leapster, I was a little disappointed in this cartridge. I do not believe the first grade cartridge addresses enought first grade skills - i.e. limited phonics skills, and only the very basics of first grade math. I didn't feel this cartridge challenged my child like I wanted it to, and having taught first grade for many years, I thought the cartridge would address a broader range of skills reaching to the end of first grade materials. It seems to only hit on beginning first grade skills and here we are in the middle of the year! It is fun and he does enjoy it... but I am already waiting for the second grade cartridge to be released because he is ready for more.
Great Game, but too simple for a real first grader

I bought this cartridge for my 4YO son. He loves it. The games are fun and very educational. His favorite is the "LetterPiller" game, where the child guides a little caterpillar to letters in order to form words. There is a cute show when the word is complete and the game is very forgiving of mistakes. This has really helped my son learn to keep trying. Before he got his leapster, he would get upset after making a mistake, now he doesn't care at all. There is also a bumper car math game which is a little advanced for him, but would probably be good for a 5YO. There is a "log ride" game which teaches grammer. My son really likes that one too.
While I think this is way to easy for a real first grader, it is perfect for a 4-6YO child. My 4YO absolutely adores it. So I think the game deserves 5 stars even though they got the ages wrong.
The best cartridge so far!!!

My son is in kindergarten and is enjoying his leapster!~! Along with the cartridge that comes with the leapster he also recd 1st grade! although it is not totally curriculum based he has the skills needed to use it without help!
The screen is very easy to see!! the pen is also easy! The touch screen feature is great and the directions are easy to follow!~! WE love this toy!!

- Leapster Game: First Grade
By A18FE93QHF5N9O on 2006-03-15
My son loves this Leapster Game. I like the fact that he is actually learning something. He is in kindergarten and I got this game for him to present a bit of a challenge for him. He has not completed all the levels yet, but he likes the fact that he can figure things out on his own. I am not sure if it is a full-fledged first grade level game, but it will present a challenge for 4 - 6 year olds.
- My son is happy and learning
By AQAANBQVA0RCB on 2006-03-15
I wanted to buy a game that would make my 5 year old happy and, at the same time, improve his skills in Math and language. This game achieved achieved both ends.
I strongly recommend it for kids in Kindergarten, because it stimulates them. I don't know whether it would work as well for 1st graders.
- Great game!
By A3N0ZGOY1ESGCC on 2006-01-03
Great game! This is my 5 year old's favorite by far. I find it to be extremely educational. He seems to be able to breeze through the games on the first and second level, but the 3rd level is still a challenge. He's in kindergarten, but loves school and loves to learn.
