Arthur and DW are a hit at my house

My seven year old boy enjoys this CD.It has 2 basic tracks, one, you can "play within the story," clicking on parts of the story and see short cause/effect/noises unfold.The "play within the story" is entertaining and a nice break from reading or getting frustrated.The other part to this CD is an actual read along.The read along is nice because as each word is read by a computer voice, it is highlighted.The reading level is simple and read at a slower pace for learning kids.I'm very happy with this...

Review of Reading Race

My son loves this CD and honestly so do I.While it is not going to teach your child to read, it will help them with word recognition some.On each page of the story there are several items to select for interesting surprises.You can either have the program automatically continue after each page, or stop and let you explore the page and its contents.I think there is not any overt rudness in the program that is above and beyond the book series itself and the interaction between Arthur and DW....
