We ordered this for our four year old daughter and, while it is probably a bit above her level (she is not reading yet but is beginning to sound out letters, etc. and when we read to her she will point out letters that she recognizes...but has not yet began to recognize entire words), it is a wonderful program!
It allows you to choose at which level you want to begin, or play. The characters are interesting and their speech is well enunciated. The content is entirely age appropriate and innocent - which is rare in this day and age.
The directions are very clear and I imagine if I set aside time every day to use this program, our daughter will be reading by age five.
We own other Reader Rabbit CDs and they are all wonderful...I would strongly recommend these products for children ages three to six. |
I love Reader Rabbit

| My daughter is 3 years old and she is beginning to read. I love Reader Rabbit. The animation and the music really holds her attention. The repititon helps her to remember. There are so many educational products out there but Reader Rabbit, Richard Scary and Leap Products are among my favorites. |
I wouldn't believe it if I didn't see it for my self....amazing!

| I am allways reading amazon reviews before I buy products but this is the first time I am leaving my own review because this product is so amazing I got to do it. I have bought reader rabbit products before some are great like the baby/toddler but wasn't thrilled with others. But this reading one, I thought what the heck its only 10.00 try it. My granddaughter is 5 years old, because of an Oct. birthday missed kindergarten so she is in pre-k, this is a little girl who had a speech problem so bad that at age 3 I couldn't understand what she was saying. She did know the sounds of most every letter, but wasn't reading at all. Well in just 5 days she whipped through the first level to help Sam get to the castle, and by the end of it, I did the assessment over, there is one for your child to do so the game can challenge but not overwhelm your child. In 5 days only, she actually read every single word in the sentences that are shown in the assessment. She didn't get a couple of words right, she got every single word RIGHT! I can't say enough about this way of teaching, nothing short of miraculous. I purchased the reader rabbit with phonics to give her some variety and will write a review on that when we start that one. OH and I also highly recommend school zone products, nearly everything she is doing in pre-K she already knew thanks to reader rabbit, and school zone products and this was a child that couldn't speak. |
perfect blend of fun & learning

This was my first "Reader Rabbit" purchase, and it won't be my last.
The program is obviously dated (graphics) but that matters very little to a 3-4 year old. It does a fantastic job of engaging the youngster, even those who haven't been raised in front of the computer (my kids are relatively computer illiterate compared with some kids their age, despite being a computer-guy myself - I try to keep my kids active instead of letting them waste away in front of TVs & computers... but I digress).
There's enough things to click on and discover that they don't even realize they're learning. The app is designed very cleverly to make them learn and use that knowledge to find more fun things. The stories and activities are perfectly designed for the attention span of 3-5 year olds.
If you're looking for just a select few good programs to a)introduce kids to computers and b)help them develop reading skills, put this on your short list. It's solid, entertaining and educational. I'm surprised there aren't more reviews on Amazon for this.
One note: This runs just fine on XP SP3, but if you use user profiles and don't allow users administrator privilages (which is how you should be set up!), you'll need to "Run as..." and choose an admin account when you launch this program. |
great educational tool

| I purchased these programs for my grandchildren to help them with their reading skills and they love to use it and I have seen a marked improvement in their reading abilities. My daughter is a school teacher and recommended the programs. |
