Early learners start with letter names and recognition, vowels and consonants,
all under the patient tutelage of the rabbit and his buddies. From there they graduate to words and sentences, and finally on to reading
and comprehending stories.
Older pupils will hone their spelling skills, expand their vocabulary
and even dabble in some creative writing.
Pupils sign in by choosing the letters that form their names.
Games can be saved, and can be played endlessly.
There's plenty of positive reinforcement -- applause for getting the right answers,
and encouragement to try, try again.
Learning activities can be printed out, and there are endless puzzles to solve -
all with the goal of teaching reading with phonics.
While this package of Reader Rabbit learning games is flashier than
the ones my kids used 20 years ago, the activities still feature the friendly
forest animals who would like nothing better than having their charges learn how to read
- and feel good about it. Best of all, you can customize the activities
to your child's grade and ability level. Can't wait to show it to my grandchildren.
Reader Rabbit Learn to Read System, with three CDs, video and flash cards,
will run on Windows XP, Me, 2000, and 98
and Macintosh computers running System 8.6 to 9.6.
