Reading Adventure is an interactive, personalized learning program that helps kids build reading skills and confidence. Developed with educators, this subscription-based program features physical and digital play along with automatic speech recognition technology to cover critical reading skills for K through 1st grade (ages 5-7). It includes skill-building games and activities, and adapts to meet the skill level of the player for a more dynamic, fun experience. Kids are joined by characters Oliver and Nebula as they go on a magical reading journey. Oliver, a young talking dog, is enthusiastic, optimistic and still learning how to read. Nebula, the leader of the Dream Catchers, knows everything there is to know about language and reading, but she needs your child’s voice to turn that language into magic.
Evaluation comments:
“I enjoy technology that’s able to “hear” the child reading and encourages the child with motivating adventures on the screen. I like that this is easy to download, set up and use (for the parents) and once the parents work with the child, it is fairly easy for them to use it as well.”
“I think the technology is wonderful and the program will encourage children to practice reading. The wand is super fun as well. This program was created by early educators and it shows, it is developmentally appropriate and will work well with various developmental levels.”
“Parents and children will love it.”
“The set I received is for beginners, however there are other books so as the child improves their reading skills (speech sounds and phonemes) they can get more challenging books and move up in the program. The wand works interactively with the program as well. This is skill-based phonics instruction tailored to the child’s level.”
