From The Old Schoolhouse Magazine: "I have to start by saying this is a dream come true for homeschooling parents who want to teach their children computer skills! We found this program was easy to follow and fun to use. My children loved watching their work actually WORK when they did what the book instructed. ..."I would strongly recommend this curriculum to anyone wanting to learn some basic computer skills; that includes adults and students!" -Anissa DeGrasse for The Old Schoolhouse Magazine's Web site. From Eclectic Homeschool Online: "Computer Science Pure and Simple Book 1 for Homeschoolers gets kids working immediately taking what they read and applying it. The instructional detail is just right, not over explaining and thereby confusing, nor skipping steps that may be intuitive to more experienced computer users."--Beverly Krueger for Eclectic Homeschool Online.
