Microsoft My Personal Tutor Preschool & Kindergarten Deluxe

Recommended for kids ages 3 to 6

TutorAssist learning technology enables the My Personal Tutor titles to track a child’s progress, recognize when the child is having trouble with a concept, and offer a multimedia tutorial to help him or her understand the concept behind the problem. This new approach helps kids develop the necessary thinking and problem-solving skills to progress to the next level of learning, instead of just practicing what they already know.

My Personal Tutor offers more than 100 multimedia tutorials in which Professor P.T. Presto, the charismatic and clever tutor, uses music, animation and humor to make learning fun. Guiding children with warmth and encouragement, Professor Presto is on hand to offer helpful tips when a child experiences difficulty with a concept. And because the tutorials are as engaging and entertaining as the core learning activities, children consider them a bonus opportunity to explore at their own pace.

My Personal Tutor provides parents with a comprehensive early learning software solution for their children. Beginning with Preschool Workshop and continuing through Mathopolis, each My Personal Tutor learning title grows with the child. With hundreds of engaging activities, games, animations, songs, characters and tutorials, each title keeps kids playing and learning for hours.

Preschool Workshop, the first title in the suite, is designed to help 3- to 5-year-olds learn to recognize shapes, count and other early learning skills as they help jungle animals build toys in the Preschool Workshop.

Alphabet Playhouse, the second title, helps 3- to 5-year-olds master letters, sounds, uppercase and lowercase letters, and pre-reading skills as they sing and play games with Rosy® Raccoon.

Reader Railway, for 4- to 6-year-olds, builds vocabulary, reading comprehension, creativity, phonics, memory and storytelling skills, all on a trip to the circus with Rusty® Raccoon.

Mathopolis, the fourth CD-ROM in the suite, reinforces fundamental addition and subtraction skills while challenging the creativity and problem solving skills of 5- to 7-year-olds.
