Great for kids. I love learning tools and my daughter would play with this all day if I allowed her too but because of her age she's only allowed small increments at a time.
What he doesn't realize is he is learning letter sounds, sight words, and reading. This is a great educational game shh don't tell the kids its educational. Best of all there is no fight to get him to study because to him its a fum game. Don't tell him. My son begs to play it everyday. I give him half hour at a time and when time is up it is hard to pry him off.
My four year old gets lots from it. GREAT. I have never been disappointed with anything Reader Rabbit.
It has some learning value, but I'm sure there are better products out there. After being completely satisfied with the Toddler version of Reader Rabbit, I found this to be a disappointment. The introduction intimidated the girl I bought it for and the lessons don't draw a young child in like the Toddler version did.
The navigation is not good. Apart from that the program is educational. My Kids 5 and 3 yrs love the frog.The designers of Rabbit should keep in mind that its going to be used by little kids. I tried 3-4 Reader Rabbit Programs. Usability is the most important. It will not allow skip. Learn from Leap Frog.
I work in Software from 10 years. In fact I bought all Leapfrog DVD titles one by one after seeing the difference the Frog makes to kid's learning. Instead of struggling with Reader Rabbit, I would highly recommend the Leapfrog Letter Factory and Math Circus. If its difficult to navigate for me, the kids definitely will not be able to navigate freely. Every time you need to put the CD in to run the program.
They are hard to use. Another negative: The program does not install on computer. If the kids are using the same thing again and again and They want to skip the things they are bored of they are out of luck. It takes significant learning effort to get used to the programs. It will not allow you to skip something.
