Reading Blaster Ages 9 - 12 (Jewel Case)

Purchased this for my 10 year old, but he played it one time and never looked at it again. He did not like it very much. I played it and thought it was fun but Im not the one who needs to be interested in the game.

Even though the Amazon description of the software list that its mac compatible, its actually only xp and vista compatible. I was only able to use it on my mac, because I had vista loaded on my mac via bootcamp. Be careful you have the required system before you buy.

I remember playing this game when I was a kid and I absolutely LOVED it!!! I love the fact that it has an actual story line and its not just mindlessly having you figure out puzzles for no reason. I was just thinking about this game the other day and how I still wanted to play it again even though Im now well past the age limit! It may not be new, but I 100% recommend this game!

Unlike many educational computer programs, this one is actually fun! You need to read and think carefully to find the clues to rescue the poor citizens who have been turned into appliances by the mad Dr Dabble. Along the way you practice reading skills such as parts of speech, word association and sequencing. If only all lessons were this much fun a lot more kids would beg to go to school.

good

Thanks!

kids liked it

First of all, I would like to stress that plot matters a lot to me. If it doesnt matter so much to your child, you can disregard some of my review.
