3.0 out of 5 stars
A good start software & fun for 3-5yr boy or girl,
By LAK "lakdek" (Newtown, PA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Reader Rabbit Learn to Read With Phonics (Preschool & Kindergarten) (CD-ROM)
I purchased this software because my kid's daycare uses Reader Rabbit. I picked this version since it was preschool to K & I've got a 3yr old & a 5yr old & I wanted something (for my first purchase of software) that they could both use. It's a two disk set with one for the preschool & the other is K. The preschool has less "story" to it; it has more games, songs, & a zillion printable activities (we haven't done them since the kids computer isn't hooked up to a printer-- another thing they might break). Some games are matching letters or shapes, while harder games have the child pick the right word for the sentence (if you move your mouse over words, etc, the sentence/word is read for the child). Both my kids like teh preschool disk. THe K disk is more story & more detail -- help the mouse find letters & fill in a map. I think my 5yr old lacks the desire right now to sit thru all that, but it seems fun & challenging without being hard. My 3yr old tries to do it, but he can't follow the steps yet. I would have given this four stars (maybe even five, but it's my first software purchase & I've got nothing to compare it to) but I had to bump one off because the software doesn't download; you have to change between disks & that is a huge drag for me when one kid is done & the other wants to do the other program. That's just a hassle that isn't necessary. Outside of this, I think the program is great. The kids spend maybe 20 minutes on a Saturday or Sunday on the computer. I would recommend this product. It was a good first purchase for us.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Reader Rabbit Learn to Read With Phonics (Preschool & Kindergarten) (CD-ROM)
When I first purchased this and took a look at it before I let my four year old granddaughter view it--to be honest I thought it looked uninspiring and rather boring for her. But what do I know! She spent three hours on it the first day learning how to navigate through the various activities and books. I was amazed since she is a whirlwind of energy. Since then she views it daily and learns the letters and words and is beginning to pick them out of the hardcover books she has.
In the end what matters is that she finds this edition of Reader Rabbit engaging and that she is learning from the activities and the interactive stories.

Will not load,

This review is from: Reader Rabbit Learn to Read With Phonics (Preschool & Kindergarten) (CD-ROM)
Will not load after installation. Product description says it supports Windows XP. I am running 64-bit Windows 7, which is likely the problem. My recommendation is that you should not purchase this product if you have a 64-bit OS.
