Product Description

Curious George joins the circus in this fun phonics adventure. George is up to his usual antics, sending circus animals flying through the air in dashing acrobatics, laughing at the clowns' jokes, playing music, and chasing down letters and their sounds. Six games and activities teach children to recognize letters, sounds, and to sound out words as their build basic reading skills. As children learn about letter names, the sounds in language (phonemic awareness), and letter sound associations (phonics), they learn the basic skills of reading and writing. This explore-at-your-own-pace game offers gentle challenges and fun, magical rewards.

This review is from: Curious George Learns Phonics (CD-ROM)

Unfortunately, it states on the sale information regarding the software that the Curious George Learns Phonics can be used on the Vista system. That is the only reason we bought it. We ordered it for our son for the holidays. We put it in the computer but unfortunately, VISTA does not support the software. We were very disappointed and felt mislead.
