This is a great learning CD. Kids learn while playing. My 4 year old grandson, who never sits still, actually sat and played this for over 2 hours. He loves it. My daughter was in shock. I would highly recommend this CD.

decent entertainment for a 4 year old

This software is a bit slow, but decent value for my 4 year old grandson.
Does not match the interest of 'Dr Seuss Cat in the Hat' or 'Arthur's Computer Adventures',
but if you already have those cd's, this one is worth the money.

Great Program

I bought this for my 4 year old grandaughter and she loves it. When she completes a level she get's so excited. She uses this disc more than any of her other 5 programs. I recommend this program highly !!!!

Trick your kids into learning

This game was purchased for a young girl aged 4 years 8 mo. She had very little computer experience, and a little phonic work in Pre-K. This game was right up her alley. Some of the tasks were easy, giving her a sense of mastery, but the difficulty level increases nice and slow and she didn't even realize. They mix in fun non-learning activities as a reward (decorating the float). As a result, her reading skills have significantly improved in the past month and so have her computer mousing skills. Haven't found a good typing game for a 4 year old yet, that's next.

Great Learning Game

This game is awesome and teaches kids phonics, letter recognition, matching, numbers, and they don't even know they are learning becuase they are having fun. They complete tasks and get fun prizes that boost self confidence. It helps kids navigate on the computer and gets them comfortable with a mouse.

My daughter loves this software game!

Ride the Ferris wheel with Jetta, help T-Bone across the tightrope, and inflate parade balloons with Emily Elizabeth and Clifford - all while building phonics, vocabulary, and spelling skills. Win up to 18 different prizes that you can use to decorate a float for the Big parade!

Excellent!!!

This cd-rom is great! I have a very bright 2 1/2yr old who I bought this for and he learned within minutes how to play the games, recognize the words, place the tickets in the machine to win a prize (using the mouse), etc. The games are great, very bright colored, all of the characters from the show are on the software, and it makes him laugh. I love watching him on the computer. He works the keyboard and mouse better than some adults I know. :)

A great introduction to computers

My four-year-old daughter was not interested in using the computer at preschool so we bought this at the school's book fair. Well, now she is VERY interested in the computer. She too has spent countless hours playing this game. It was very simple for her to master her way around without little help from myself. It is not only a fun game but also a game that teaches word and picture recognition. I would highly recommend this software to other parents; in fact, I am going to put some more Clifford titles on her Christmas list!

for the most resistant reader

My 4.5 yr old son would much rather play nintendo than try to learn phonics, thanks to the influence of two older sibs. He received this game yesterday and already has spent countless hours on it playing the games and inadvertantly learning phonics. This game uses letter groupings as well as phonics, which is the method my other kids used with great success. This game definately requires parent participation in the early stages, but it's been fun watching him become more and more independant in his reading skills even though he is not aware of it. Only complaint is that the reward system is limited, so beware if your child is reward-oriented.

Clifford the Big Red Dog: Phonics

I bought this for my 3 year old daughter for Christmas this year. It was the first computer learning game she ever tried and it has been great in teaching her the basic mechanics for moving the cursor around the computer screen and using a mouse. But now, just 3 months later, I find that she is bored with the game. There are only a handful of games at the carnival to play. She seems more interested in decorating the float with the prizes she's won from these games instead.
