Product Description:
Follow the road to Imagination, then catch the train for Wordville Station! This colorful journey is filled with activities to help your child learn critical reading skills, build confidence, and discover the joy of reading.

Amazon.com Review:
Reader Rabbit takes a road trip, and kids who go along for the ride will learn everything from homonyms to alphabetizing with this occasionally inspired CD-ROM. Kids can follow the Road to Imagination to 15 different reading lands, or visit Wordville Station for straightforward access to word games. Both of these multilevel elements are designed for kids who already have a grasp of the alphabet.

Each stop along the Road to Imagination has a reading-related theme, such as an owl looking for words with long and short vowel sounds for the letter e. Animated hot spots reinforce the theme, as well as activities that involve rhyming, syllabication, listening to letter sounds, and word recognition. There are also a couple of books to be found at each stop along the road (30 in all), with questions at the end that inspire both reading comprehension and imaginative flights of fancy. An easy-to-use recording program enables kids to read the books out loud and play back their words. Wordville Station has four games that teach compound words, vowel sounds, alphabetizing, and matching opposites, homonyms, and rhyming words.

I Can Read has some bright moments: Reader Rabbit loosens up a bit and imitates Ed Sullivan, Dick Clark, and former president Clinton as he emcees an alphabetization exercise called the Alphabet Dance. The vagaries of the English language are exposed when a bird of paradise plant transforms into an exotically plumed bird of paradise, and then that same bird rolls a pair of dice. A tiny bit of sophistication seems to have seeped into the wide-eyed world of Reader Rabbit, and it will probably be appreciated by kids who have cut their pop-culture teeth on the rapid-fire fare provided by Nickelodeon and Nintendo.

Fear not, Reader Rabbit and Mat the Mouse still run a pretty straight-laced establishment, with plenty of opportunities for parents to check progress, control gameplay and levels, and educate themselves about educating their young readers. But there's a bit more sass here than in the Reader Rabbit programs designed for younger kids--an intelligent way for the series to adjust to its increasingly sophisticated audience. (Ages 5 to 8) --Anne Erickson

Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great refresher program
I used this program to help my son improve on skills already learned, GREAT program!!!!


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Excellent learning materials
The material is excellent and the CD inexpensive. My daughters are excited and I enjoy reading/playing with them using the CD.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Reader Rabbit I can read with phonics is great!
My Children 3 and 5 love the Reader Rabbits. This RR is fun for my 5 year old, and I can help my 3 year old play it as well.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - works fine on XP
Another reviewer here claims that I can Read With Phonics does not install easily on Microsoft Windows XP. NOT TRUE! I have XP and every Reader Rabbit game works perfectly on it. I own just about everyone out there, and my son (age 5) is a great fan of the reader rabbit software. This game does an excellent job of teaching reading and phonics in a fun way. If you have a child ready to learn to read, get this game! You won't regret it! And you can get it so cheap here on amazon, too. I paid a lot more a couple of years ago.


Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Program good... but doesn't run easily on all platforms.
It does not run in MS Windows 2000...
It does not run in MS Windows XP environment either...
... at least not without hours and hours of fiddling.

It WILL RUN on MAC with OS 9! YEAH!

Hubby and I were only willing to put in 4 hours (including looking at stupid online help) trying to get it to run on one of our Windows machines. The disk will launch but not install. This may or may not be due to our having more than one harddrive and CD player having letter "F" designation.

In any case, my advice is not to get the kids all excited and then sit down expecting a quick install while they are waiting... and waiting.

It did run on our MAC and it is an enjoyable program. In fact, I will go so far as to say that it is an EXCELLENT ... Read More
