Children
will take a fascinating journey along the Reading Road!
PRODUCT INFORMATION
A step toward fostering a lifelong love of stories, reading, and
language.
Playful language, colorful animations, and engaging sound effects provide
a delightful environment for children to explore as they build their reading
skills.
Within the graphic and sound-rich "Reading Lands," the program includes
30 progressively challenging storybooks, supported by carefully structured
skill-building lessons at 3 challenge levels.
Because children can choose whether to explore a Reading Land, read a
storybook, or play a skill house game, learning is self-guided and children
are in control of their own learning experience.
Unique A.D.A.P.T. Learning Technology
Learning is a journey, and each child learns at a different pace and has

your child's abilities, develops skills, adjusts difficulty levels, provides
help and tracks progress. Always challenging and rewarding, A.D.A.P.T. is
the most effective way to build skills, confidence and a life-long love
of learning!

Highlights
Reading Lands
The 15 Reading Lands provide a fascinating journey along the Reading Road.
Children help Vowel Owl find her voice, they look for objects that stress
specific long and short vowel sounds. And vocabulary development continues
as children explore silly animations that provide concrete examples of prepositional
phrases, comparatives, and superlatives.
Storybooks
The 30 storybooks (two per Reading Land) help young readers develop visual
and auditory word recognition and build their reading vocabulary. Children
can read along with the characters or read the stories on their own.
Skill Houses
Each Reading Land has a skill house where children play word games that
help build their listening, reading, and thinking skills.

houses have 3 challenge levels. Success in each skill house is tracked and
a child's performance can be viewed in the Progress Report.
