Superkids is a website that offers a vast variety of reviews on different educational software. These reviews are written by teams of educators and parents, some of which are experts from prestigious universities. Most importantly though, children who have had hands-on experience with the reviewed software are also able to share their output on them. This is, in my opinion, an important factor. After all, these software are intended for children and it's useful to know how they perceive the programs, the games and other resources and how easy they are for children to use.

Superkids educational software reviews are made considering a set of criteria:

Price survey - Superkids posts the most reasonable price ranges of software reviewed. Although the site indicates that it cannot guarantee that the prices posted are indeed the cheapest ones, it can give parents looking to buy educational software an idea of what the software would cost and also shows where the software can be purchased at these prices.

Educational value - Since the software reviewed are mostly games for children, you would surely want to know up to what extent your child will learn from the program before buying any software. This portion also carefully describes the lessons on each level/stage of game software and points out skills that are targeted in each of the programs.

Kid appeal - This is where the hands-on experience of children reviewers come in. Children comment in this portion on the fun factor of the games and also share their opinion on the complexity of the controls, instructions, etc. The feedback given by the children are very transparent and they tell you whether the games are too lame, the background music annoying, or the exercises not challenging enough. This portion is what you would want to look into if you are looking for software that you would want your kids to use for a long time and not grow tired of.

Ease of use - This part of the review specifies installation instructions and requirements and mentions installation problems should there be any. The controls and navigation commands such as shifting between pages or going through modules are also discussed in this portion.

Apart from these criteria, the Superkids educational software reviews also indicate system requirements, information on product support and they also include a snapshot taken from each software. For those who want a quick overview, there is also a chart with a points system review which is basically a summary of the detailed review in scores. And for those with even less time to spare browsing from review to review, there's a bestseller list posted on the site, one for home education software and another for game software.

I cannot stress enough how useful these reviews are for those parents out there who like to buy educational software or are looking to buy their first ones. The reviews are very transparent and give you a very clear idea what it would be like for your children to use the software programs.
