Just like the other Reader Rabbits, this is great!
My five year old son has been growing up on Reader Rabbit, and can't get enough of it. He LOVES this stuff, and you can't believe how much children learn from it. This and the other phonics reading software is just as good as all the other Reader Rabbit software. GREAT! Buy it!

My daughter learned to read by her fourth birthday
(...)We moved to Japan, and I ordered the Reading with Phonics game.
She used to play about an hour a day sometimes, she just loved it. I would also play school with her sometimes, and we read lots of stories together every night at bedtime. English spelling is quite difficult, because it is so irregular. However, we were surprised to find our daughter could read through books that she had never seen before, or only been read a few times, by the time she was nearly four. On her fourth birthday, she could read through a book like "Bunnycakes", with two or three sentences per page. I give a fair amount of credit to the Reader Rabbit games, as well as Blue Clues reading games. My wife was not keen on letting her play with the computer so much, but I think it was
quite effective for teaching the brute rote memorization needed to pronounce English spelling, and to become familiar with
letter combinations such as "ch", "sh" , "gh", etc, and their irregular rules. As a side benefit, our daughter can type pretty well and
use both mouse and trackpad. (...)

Excellent Learning Game!
I bought this program a few months ago for my three year old daughter. She *loves* it and is really learning from it. Like all the Reader Rabbit Games we've purchased so far, it is very well done. The program runs smoothly, the animation is good and attention grabbing, and Reader Rabbit and Mat the Mouse are very endearing to children. This game keeps my child's attention and makes learning phonics so much fun she doesn't even realize she's picking it up. We do this game together with me working the mouse because she isn't quite good enough with the mouse yet to do it solo. [However, a child who has good command of "mouse use" could easily do this game on their own]. We are really enjoying it!

EXCELLENT Phonics software with tons of fun things to do.
This phonics software is MUCH better than the Jumpstart Phonics!! You can spend all day trying to do all the fun activities. My five year old son loved it. Very good teaching tool. I HIGHLY recommend it!

Reader Rabbit Learn To Read With Phonics.
I love this software. My son really likes it. I bought it because he had problems pronouncing words. He enjoyed playing with it so much, that now he is able to match words with pictures and sound out several words.
