Educational Goals

The game reinforces the reading skills of older children to allow for confidence and language skills. Although deemed too difficult for young users by an Adult Juror, being able to record voice narration is good reading practice.[1] Multilevel activities include phonics, initial letter blends and word recognition. The game also includes 30 different storybooks during the gameplay to widen reading comprehension, reasoning and vocabulary.[2]

Reception

In 1996 the game won the SuperKids Software Award for Best Reading Software. Then in 1997, it won some more awards including the National Educational Media Network Silver Apple,[3] the Newsweek Editor's Choice and the Parent's Choice Gold Award.[4]
