The children were quickly able to use it without adult help, following the clear verbal instructions on the discs. The difficulty options allowed adults to monitor each individual child's progress on the different areas of the program, which is very useful. It was perfect for the age range and the children really enjoyed using it, as well as it being very beneficial to them! It covers all areas of development and is ideal to help improve many skills in young children."_ *Word World Series - tester on behalf of the Practical Pre-School Award 2008* -- -- _"Robot Factory is easy to navigate and features clear verbal instructions.....You'll have no trouble incorporating the software into maths lessons."_ *Robot Factory - Primary Choice (Volume 1, Issue 6)* -- -- “_I found that Sali Mali 123 is a well designed piece of software, with a broad range of interesting activities.
