Reader Rabbit Reading Ages 4-6

Reader Rabbit has been around for a long time and it is a truly wonderful system to help children improve their reading skills. What could be better than playing a game while you learn? I used it when my children were growing up and now I'm providing Reader Rabbit for my granddaughter to help her retain and improve her reading skills over the summer. It is a win-win situation for the parent and the child. The game is plug and play so your child can play without your assistance.

my 4 year old son loves it.hes having so much fun too.this is perfect for pre k thru 1st grade.4-7its like having 4 cds in one.

I bought this game which states it works with Apple OSX when fact that it only works in 'classic' (OS 9) on the Mac OS. I had to install OS9 on a secondary hard drive to get this to work and it only works marginally at best. It's slow and often produces an "Out of Memory" Error even though I've got about 288MB of RAM on my system. I have no idea why don't make a true OSX version, since it's been out for 7 years now! My son does seem to like the games on here, but most Apple equipment can't even run OS9 now so it's almost worthless. Not recommended for OSX users.

We ordered this for our four year old daughter and, while it is probably a bit above her level (she is not reading yet but is beginning to sound out letters, etc. and when we read to her she will point out letters that she recognizes...but has not yet began to recognize entire words), it is a wonderful program!

It allows you to choose at which level you want to begin, or play. The characters are interesting and their speech is well enunciated. The content is entirely age appropriate and innocent - which is rare in this day and age.

The directions are very clear and I imagine if I set aside time every day to use this program, our daughter will be reading by age five.

We own other Reader Rabbit CDs and they are all wonderful...I would strongly recommend these products for children ages three to six.

My daughter is 3 years old and she is beginning to read. I love Reader Rabbit. The animation and the music really holds her attention. The repititon helps her to remember. There are so many educational products out there but Reader Rabbit, Richard Scary and Leap Products are among my favorites.
