Reader Rabbit 1st Grade
Reader Rabbit 1st Grade provides a rich educational environment with activities
designed to develop important first-grade skills. Children practice
language arts, math, creativity, and science while they help Reader Rabbit and
friends save Wordville’s annual musical. They then continue to explore and
reinforce many of these ideas in the Learning Creations activities.
In first grade, children take the basic concepts they have
developed in preschool and kindergarten and apply these concepts to tasks like
reading and arithmetic. Six-year-olds use their mastery of letter
recognition; letter and sound correspondence; and vocabulary to help develop
their reading skills. Mastery of addition and subtraction requires a strong
understanding of how to count. Reader Rabbit 1st Grade gives children
opportunities to build academic skills and practice fundamental learning
concepts.
To reinforce understanding and application of new concepts, the
adventure activities in Reader Rabbit 1st Grade have increasingly complex skill
levels, so the program can move from simple to more complex concepts at a pace
that suits each player. Players can tackle more challenging problems even if
they haven’t mastered all skills or concepts in the program. Each skill area
adjusts its level up or down independently from the others, thereby creating a
tailored learning experience that addresses each player’s specific needs.
Reader Rabbit 1st Grade carefully tracks players’ responses to
each level’s activities, using that information to adjust the type of puzzle
presented. Not all activities are suited to this type of auto-leveling
(open-ended experiments, for example). These activities begin at the first
difficulty level and become more complex as players complete more of the game.
It’s time to join Reader Rabbit on a fun-filled journey to the four corners of
Wordville. There’s so much to do before opening night. Time is running out,
but the show must go on! The adventure activities in Reader Rabbit 1st
Grade help children build language arts, math, science, and creativity skills,
while the Learning Creations activities encourage children to explore and
strengthen fundamental skills through creative play.
