Editorial Review:New CDROM in Jewel Case
Reader Rabbit takes a road trip, and kids who go along for the ride will learn everything from homonyms to alphabetizing with this occasionally inspired CD-ROM. Kids can follow the Road to Imagination to 15 different reading lands, or visit Wordville Station for straightforward access to word games. Both of these multilevel elements are designed for kids who already have a grasp of the alphabet. Each stop along the Road to Imagination has a reading-related theme, such as an owl looking for words with long and short vowel sounds for the letter e. Animated hot spots reinforce the theme, as well as activities that involve rhyming, syllabication, listening to letter sounds, and word recognition. There are also a couple of books to be found at each stop along the road (30 in all), with questions at the end that inspire both reading comprehension and imaginative flights of fancy. An easy-to-use recording program enables kids to read the books out loud and play back their words. Wordville Station has four games that teach compound words, vowel sounds, alphabetizing, and matching opposites, homonyms, and rhyming words. I Can Read has some bright moments: Reader Rabbit loosens up a bit and imitates Ed Sullivan, Dick Clark, and former president Clinton as he emcees an alphabetization exercise called the Alphabet Dance. The vagaries of the English language are exposed when a bird of paradise plant transforms into an exotically plumed bird of paradise, and then that same bird rolls a pair of dice. A tiny bit of sophistication seems to have seeped into the wide-eyed world of Reader Rabbit, and it will probably be appreciated by kids who have cut their pop-culture teeth on the rapid-fire fare provided by Nickelodeon and Nintendo. Fear not, Reader Rabbit and Mat the Mouse still run a pretty straight-laced establishment, with plenty of opportunities for parents to check progress, control gameplay and levels, and educate themselves about educating their young readers. But there's a bit more sass here than in the Reader Rabbit programs designed for younger kids--an intelligent way for the series to adjust to its increasingly sophisticated audience. (Ages 5 to 8) --Anne Erickson
This title is designed to teach critical reading and writing skills with phonics-based word puzzles, animated storybooks, and reading comprehension games. Kids will follow the Road to Imagination, then catch the train for Wordville Station, where they'll join Reader Rabbit and friends in an action-packed adventure. The activities in this colorful reading program build confidence and pleasure in reading, in addition to helping your child learn critical reading skills.

I missed the detail that this only works with OS 9 and below. I haven't used that for many years so we were unable to use this at all. I have some good experiences with the Reader Rabbit brand, so that was disappointing.

My 5-year old couldn't wait to play with this software (game). He got bored very quickly, so I went to a different game, but he wasn't real impressed there either. He played all the games, but didn't find this very fun or exciting. I was hoping it would be more educational, but found it to be just "ok".

After reading many good reviews, I purchased this software for my 4yo who is just starting to read. I am very disappointed in the product.
First, it did not come with installation or use instructions. Installation was pretty standard, so we were able to figure it out. How to use the game, however, was not so standard. We had to figure it out through trial and error. It took perhaps a half hour or so, but having the instructions would have been very helpful.
Second, ... Read More

We were unable to install this on any of 3 computers. The installer has major errors. BAD NEWS There is no tech support for these products. What a total waste of money

One of the best things is that children are more willing
to participate to play and learn at the same time. They
can learn through playing repeatly until they master on
it.
