5.0 out of 5 stars A great product to teach your children to read, September 5, 2003

I bought this product after my neighbor's daughter taught HERSELF to read just by playing this game. It has lots of fun activities and is easy for kids to figure out. My son may not learn to read as quickly as our neighbor but he'll sure have fun trying.

For $14.49 I got the single CD Jumpstart Phonics Read & Rhyme, which has terrible reviews and is available for $5-$8 cheaper than this product is advertised. Am sending the CD back and trying again... but I don't have much hope as the "Read & Rhyme" was incorrectly labeled as B000083JY9 . I absolutely hate it when sellers change products and don't update information!!

If you own a MAC and intend to run this on it do NOT buy it! It is not compatible with MAC operating systems, despite what the specs say.
