Software Reviews of Reader Rabbit Learn to Read With Phonics
Customer Review: Well my son likes it....
Summary: 2 Stars
... but it's not as good as some of the others. Flat graphics and unimaginative games make this one less than stellar. For the 3-6 year old set I'd recommend Bob the Builder, or Clifford. However, your child will probably love it as much as mine does.Customer Review: A "must-have" for beginning readers....
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of those "must-have" items if your child is learning to read...We were sorry that we hadn't bought it sooner. Our daughter is the youngest child in the class, and was having trouble with reading due to easy distractibility. We tried to "force her" to concentrate, which was both frustrating and futile.
After purchasing this CD, and the companion "I Can Read with Phonics" from Amazon, the child began to play the games and fell in love with it. Every night, she insists on playing for as much as 2 hours at a time! She does not need to be forced to learn because she is having fun, and is less aware that she is actually learning and increasing her skills.
If your child is in Kindergarten and you want a head-start, or the child is in first-grade and having difficulty, I highly recommend this CD.
Customer Review: Just the ticket
Summary: 5 Stars
When our 5-year-old got into kindergarten, we were surprised to find out how much they expect out of kids that age nowadays. Just 5 years ago, when our first one was kindergarten age, they used that time to start to introduce reading concepts. Now, they expect them to know the basics already and just delve into more advanced topics. Even the teacher said she's still getting used to the new level they're expected to teach at.
So, we had to do outside catch-up work, and this program was right on-target. It led our kindergartener step-by-step to a firm grasp of the material - his improvement was immediately visible. And he's had so much fun that he hates to stop playing.
This is a combination of two programs that were previously separate. The first one (Road to Reading) goes through each letter of the alphabet and reinforces the sound of the letter, plus presents site words using that letter. The second one (Word Factory) picks up there and introduces how to build words from the basic sounds.
I should probably point out that this program does not include any tutorial material, so it can't be used by itself to teach a child phonics. It is, however, a great set of exercises to practice and extend what they've learned elsewhere.
I would also recommend that this be used with some amount of parental involvement. In spite of its game-like format, it should probably be treated more like homework, having an adult available to get them started and to make sure they're using each concept correctly.
Customer Review: Best learn to read software program
Summary: 5 Stars
This is absolutely the best learning to read software game currently available. It's so rich! Kids learn phonics and sight words. Parents of impatient kids, beware. There is quite a bit of repetition in this game. But it does the job really well. If you want real, tangible results with a reading software game (and that is hard to find), try this game out.Customer Review: Just like the other Reader Rabbits, this is great!
Summary: 5 Stars
My five year old son has been growing up on Reader Rabbit, and can't get enough of it. He LOVES this stuff, and you can't believe how much children learn from it. This and the other phonics reading software is just as good as all the other Reader Rabbit software. GREAT! Buy it!
