This was a great started program for my 4 year old. I am a new homeschooler and wasn't sure where to start. My son absolutely loved this program and actually asked to do school everyday! It is easy to understand and even my 2 year old likes to watch his older brother play the games. It has really been a great teaching resource. We have purchased the next three discs and all of them are great!

Will not run on the newer PC with 64 bit Windows operating systems. Applies to all with 64 bits OS - Vista - Windows 7- Windows XP.

My 4 1/2 year old played this game one time and found it pretty boring. I like the fact that is assesses their ability but the games are so repetitive. It doesn't have enough choices for them. I can't get him to play it again. We also have the Jumpstart game for Kindergarten and he is crazy about that one. I was hoping that the Reader Rabbit game would interest him as much based on what other reviewers said. He may have liked it better if we hadn't been playing the Jumpstart game already.

This is wonderful software. My daughter used to use reader rabbit software, but it has been many years, and there are many more things on the market now. The first time my son played he did need some supervision ..... for instruction in navigating the game, but could complete the learning tasks with little help. The adapt system is nice because it stays with the level he is at or challenges as needed.

We try to limit playing to an hour or so when it is too hot to be outside and it is a great, fun tool for learning.

This game does not work with Windows Vista. I have no idea if the game itself is good or not since we can't even load it.

Very happy with this item ... cant say anything bad about it. My son is learning sounds of letters and counting . Perfect for preparing for Kindergarten.

I'm running Windows 7 and it won't install because the software doesn't recognize anything beyond Windows XP. If I had known this I would never have ordered it!!

My son hated this after about ten minutes of play. There are 4 things to do and they are just the same thing over and over. If you are in your twenties, you probably remember this game from school as a kid. My brother did. It's the exact same game and it looks like it and runs like it! Don't waste your money. I tossed this in the trash and today we bought a subscription to [...] the phonics one and he LOVES it!

I cannot install this game on any of my computers. It is not compatible with 64bit Operating Systems. I tried Windows XP embedded mode from Virtual PC. I somehow got it to work on a Window 98 virtual machine. However if I get my 4 year old to manipulate virtual machines and the computer at that level, I don't need this game I can as well send him to college.

The games need to install on very old windows system. And they are very boring games. Not a good buy.
