Autistic Kid Loves ItSep 28, 2004
By Christopher K. Koenigsberg
My 7-year old autistic daughter loves this game and will play with it for hours.
She can already read, better than the level this game is targetted for, but what she loves is all the fun animations from all the clickable hotspots.

 Great game, my daughter is already sassy anywayJan 06, 2004
By Tim Minogue
Great story with lots of interactive stuff to click on to keep youngsters interested.The reading race game is excellent, however the authors did not include nearly enough words in the game to keep it interesting long term. A real shame, as the game itself is motivating and educational and would have real value in teaching spelling and word recognition skills if only the dictionary was larger. The previews of other games are a great addition - good advertising for the publishers and very entertaining in their own right.

Arthur's Reading RaceDec 10, 2002
By Darrell Nungester
This is a good game that will help your children to learn to read. This game will work with Windows XP Home Edition if you run it in compatibility mode.

Teaches sight words!Apr 19, 2000
A good way to learn sight words is the reading race game on this CD. My daughter read words at age 3! The story is cute but the activities are a little limited. But the game is worth getting just for the sight word teaching.

fun and some learningSep 27, 2000
This CD is just plain fun. Anyone buying this program because they want to teach their child to read may be buying the wrong product. But it does help early learners to "see" words, and connect word/object relationships ... at least somewhat. And that in itself makes it worthy of some educational value. But the best value in this is the fun. The prizes are fun too .... weird flavored ice cream. My own feelings are that if you want to teach your child to read, you shouldn't depend on software, for the most part software is just a way to practice what they learn via actual instruction. This is a great, fun, and easy to play CD.
