5.0 out of 5 stars some reviews below refer to "Thinking Adventures", November 10, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Clifford the Big Red Dog: Phonics [OLD VERSION] (CD-ROM)

Note: Some of the reviews here (the 3-star one entitled "very easily bored with it" for instance) refer to a different product--"Clifford's Thinking Adventures".

The Phonics title is a completely different game, released in July 2003. If the review says at the end "refers to an ALTERNATE VERSION" check the link--might be a review for the other game.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great introduction to computers, November 8, 2004

My four-year-old daughter was not interested in using the computer at preschool so we bought this at the school's book fair. Well, now she is VERY interested in the computer. She too has spent countless hours playing this game. It was very simple for her to master her way around without little help from myself. It is not only a fun game but also a game that teaches word and picture recognition. I would highly recommend this software to other parents; in fact, I am going to put some more Clifford titles on her Christmas list!

This review is from: Clifford the Big Red Dog: Phonics [OLD VERSION] (CD-ROM)

This game was purchased for a young girl aged 4 years 8 mo. She had very little computer experience, and a little phonic work in Pre-K. This game was right up her alley. Some of the tasks were easy, giving her a sense of mastery, but the difficulty level increases nice and slow and she didn't even realize. They mix in fun non-learning activities as a reward (decorating the float). As a result, her reading skills have significantly improved in the past month and so have her computer mousing skills. Haven't found a good typing game for a 4 year old yet, that's next.
