5.0 out of 5 stars a great hit with my son, May 21, 2006

I have a very advanced pre-k reader, and so I got this game as a challange to his 3 letter words that his class is on. He LOVES THIS GAME, addicted to it. It taught him pretty complicated phonic rules (ones that I didn't quite know how to teach him) like the silent 'E' @ the end, or the 2 vowels together, or even the simple identifing of vowels. THis game taught it to him in a way that he never even questioned about it. By the end of pre-k, while the other kids are still on 2 & 3 letter words, he has learned the tools to read anything, I mean even the longest of words. He even won the medal for best reader of his class. I reccommend this game even for kindergarden or even 1st grade. He's reading at a 2nd grade level. I didn't play the game myself (unlike the other games - I usually do) but he LOVES it and it really worked.

Both my son and daughter have enjoyed this game. They learned their letters with the Letters on the Loose game. This is a great next step. My daughter is a first grader and has no problem playing this game on her own.

My 6 yr.old is learning the grammar rule about the silent e when to use it and how it changes the sound of the word and the meaning. she is learning to read with the story and loves the games, they focus on helping the child use their skills with: memory, attention to detail, concentration and much more all with fun games and in a way that she does not see the work it takes to win the game. I love it and so does she! that is all I have to say.
