Be Smart Kids for $199.00 teaches basic reading skills as part of a larger learning system that has four levels with over 60 lessons. The program also covers vocabulary, math and spatial/visual skills. Designed for parent involvement, the program provides teaching instructions and lesson objectives.

The high quality animation and interactivity are equal to the top products we reviewed; however, the price, close supervision required from parents and limited focus on learning to read ranks Be Smart Kids lower than other software we reviewed.
