I bought this game as a Christmas present for my 12 year old granddaughter. She learned to use the computer playing Reader Rabbit games starting at the age of 4. I always liked buying her games by Reader Rabbit because they were not only a lot of fun for her, but also very educational. When she started 1st grade she was a head of her class and I can not help but think it was because of all the Reader Rabbit games she had always played.

All that said, she did not seem to enjoy this game very much. The game was still educational like all her other games, but it did not seem to be as much fun for her. Even though this game was suppose to be for children 8-12, it seemed very hard on some levels--too hard even for me with a college education. A game for children should be challenging, but at the same time it should not be so hard that it becomes frustrating--and I think this is one of the reasons she did not particularly like this game--too frustrating to her. She played this game for about an hour and then never played it again as far as I know.

I gave this game a 3 because it is an educational game but not very fun for my granddaughter and did not hold her interest for long.

This software is enjoyable enough for a 10 year old not to know that he's building reading skills while playing on the computer.

THIS GAME WAS PURCHASED FOR ME TO USE WITH MY STUDENTS WHOM NEED EXTRA HELP AND PRACTICE WITH READING. THIS GAME IS VERY VERY CONFUSING AND IT PAUSES AND TAKES A LONG TIME TO TRASITION. IT WORKS BUT I AM NOT HIGHLY IMPRESSED.
