reading and phonics skills as they partake in this adventure to find the Land
Where The Lions Roam Free. Joined by Reader Rabbit and Sam the Lion, kids find
a series of activities that teach and reinforce short and long vowels,
consonant blends, vowel combinations, compound words and word families. These
activities, once you figure out how to play them, provide solid skill
practice. There are many directed activities (e.g. find the word with the ch
sound like in lunch) as well as some open-ended areas like poetry writing.
Graphics are very nice, and the characters and theme are appealing. The direct
instruction provided by narration and animation is also very good. The program
is flawed, however, in terms of design. It is not always clear how to get from
one place or activity to the next, and some of the activities themselves are
unintuitive to play– children (and reviewers!) don’t know what to do. Plan on
lending your child a helping hand when they get stuck. Additional program
features include printable progress reports and study words, plus a skill
practice mode. Note: This program comes bundled with a second CD, Reader
Rabbit 2nd Grade Mis-cheese-ious Dreamship Adventures!, which is a previously
released, fairly good reading adventure program. Teaches: Age Range: Copyright
