4-6
to build reading confidence!
PRODUCT INFORMATION
A step toward fostering a lifelong love of stories, reading, and
language.
This programs presents a systematic approach to learning to read.
Alliterative
speech, colorful animations, and engaging sound effects provide a
delightful
environment for children to explore as they begin to read.
Within the graphic and sound-rich "Reading Lands," the program
includes 64 progressively challenging storybooks, supported by over 100
carefully structured skill-building lessons, and more!

control of
their own learning experience.

constantly monitors your child's abilities, develops skills, adjusts

rewarding,
A.D.A.P.T. is the most effective way to build skills, confidence and a
life-long
love of learning!

In each of the 20 Letter Lands, children are introduced to a consonant
letter or
letter blend. When clicked on, many objects, beginning with that

Each Letter Land has two storybooks to read and the storybooks help

develop visual and auditory word recognition and acquire a sight word
