 Reader Rabbit September 14, 2009
Josh W. Scheider
Cheap and fast delivery. Reader Rabbit is getting cheaper because better programs are coming out. Still worth buying if you are trying to teach you little ones the computer now. Programs can become very addictive and frequent brakes are recommended.
great educational tool August 29, 2009

I purchased these programs for my grandchildren to help them with their reading skills and they love to use it and I have seen a marked improvement in their reading abilities. My daughter is a school teacher and recommended the programs.

Bought based upon kids' reaction to an earlier product. While the kids enjoyed it, this title was not as engaging.
Great for teaching the alphabet and reading skills April 6, 2009

My son has a lot of fun with this software. It is very difficult to get him to sit still for a traditional lesson. Two times with the software and he was recognizing letters and knew their sounds.
perfect blend of fun & learning March 17, 2009

This was my first "Reader Rabbit" purchase, and it won't be my last.
The program is obviously dated (graphics) but that matters very little to a 3-4 year old. It does a fantastic job of engaging the youngster, even those who haven't been raised in front of the computer (my kids are relatively computer illiterate compared with some kids their age, despite being a computer-guy myself - I try to keep my kids active instead of letting them waste away in front of TVs & computers... but I digress).
There's enough things to click on and discover that they don't even realize they're learning. The app is designed very cleverly to make them learn and use that knowledge to find more fun things. The stories and activities are perfectly designed for the attention span of 3-5 year olds.
If you're looking for just a select few good programs to a)introduce kids to computers and b)help them develop reading skills, put this on your short list. It's solid, entertaining and educational. I'm surprised there aren't more reviews on Amazon for this.
One note: This runs just fine on XP SP3, but if you use user profiles and don't allow users administrator privilages (which is how you should be set up!), you'll need to "Run as..." and choose an admin account when you launch this program.
