A good starting point on a child's level.
Having a hard time getting the 12 year old off the computer since he started using Tektoma.
My girls loved this program.

lots of fun. we really liked this one
I never received the email with my membership info, so I didn't get to actually use it. The website looked user-friendly, though, and the concept really neat, so I wrote a basic informational review.
