5.0 out of 5 stars My child loved this, April 10, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Beginning Reading Grades 1-2 (CD-ROM)

This title is centered on beginning reading and it does that and more. I was thrilled when my son had a problem understanding a the definition of a word. He just clicked on the word and we were brought to a dictionary that read the definition to us. After we were done reading we were able to create our own story. We were able to place all the characters from the story in our new story and draw and make silly sentences. All in all my son had a blast.

Even though the stories are alright, the game just doesn't hold interest and doesn't have enough things for kids to DO. There are better programs out there, and School Zone does a lot of good ones. But this one is not rich enough to keep kids coming back after playing it through once.
