Description:

A, E, I, O, U! Phonics Based Reading is an unbeatable program for little readers just starting out or older students in need of a little extra help! This program has 3 different levels that can be changed by the student at any time, cool bonuses for completing levels, and an optional report area that lets parents or teachers know how the child is progressing. Learning Activities in the first level include: Sort b, d, p, Match it, Touch and Listen, Bridge, Consonant Castle, and a Bonus Paint Activity!

Phonics Based Reading comes with an extremely detailed book that offers help with installation, setup and troubleshooting and provides great information about the activities in each level.

Features:

  • fun activities centered on phonics skills
  • 3 difficulty levels
  • bonuses for completing levels
  • report area for parents or teachers

Technical Aspects:

Phonics Based Reading was very simple to install and setup. The program ran without any problems and the graphics were very clear.

Report and Conclusions:

My 7-year-old son absolutely has a blast with the Phonics Based Reading program. He is able to understand and follow the directions, move throughout the program, and change levels without any adult help (great for busy parents!). I would highly recommend this program to any parent who has a child in need of extra help or just to use as a refresher.
