5.0 out of 5 stars Another great product by Reader Rabbit, January 18, 2008

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 begun 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 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.

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.
