Customer Reviews of Reader Rabbit Learn to Read Phonics Pre Kindergarten
Well thought out We graduated our 4 year old up to this program. Unlike some of the other reviewers, we didnt have any issues with the installation (on XP Professional SP2). <
>The graphics are not quite as slick as some of the other Reader Rabbit programs (like Reader Rabbit Preschool, etc). <
>The pace is very good, and the program repeats basic sounds, so this follows the 'phonics' method. A group of chipmunks teach the sounds and reading skills, and they have kept my 4 year old engaged, and she has made great progress. <
>A 2nd CD comes with this that gives you some printable games, a collection of the Reader Rabbit sounds, and some sample-training games.
Develops Reading in the Long Run
Our son received this game for Christmas 2002 when he was 3 1/2. We had none of the problems with installation or incorrect sounds described by the other reviewers.
The game has two components -- one that lets the child listen to songs and books and the other called "Road to Reading" that requires the child to perform certain tasks for each letter before moving on to the next one with the goal of filling in a message that contains all 26 letters.
My son has not quite finished the game yet, but we have set a goal of completing it before this Christmas. It is a nice change from most of the "story" games that he has that he can complete in an hour or two at the computer. The game is slow, but it has held his interest. We know that he is learning many words by sight because of the reading he can now do outside of the game.
There is one activity that he does not particularly like and needs help with, but for the most part he has played this himself. I can't wait for him to finish. He will be very proud because of the time it takes to get through. It has been worthwhile.
Trouble with Windows XP
This old program seems to have trouble with Windows XP. It changes the resolution to something that Windows XP considers "less than optimal". Consequently a mysterious panel keeps popping up offering me the chance to change the resolution. Of course, the panel disappears whenever I hit any key and then reappears about 15 secs later only to disappear again. At this point I'd rather teach my kid to drag her nails over a chalkboard than mess with this anymore.
