Try Reading from Simply Media instead [Posted on 2007-02-02]
This is an OK product but Simply Media's is the one used in over 10,000 schools.

Boring for a 9 year old, and outright wrong [Posted on 2007-04-06]
My 9 year old son was bored stiff by this. It doesn't scale well from inexperienced to experienced, so an experienced reader is doing very simple things getting bored. I'd say it caps out at 6 or 7 year old audience.

Worst problem is that there are some incorrect answers. The one where it asks you to click on a picture with a given short vowel sound was the most frustrating. Apparently a dog does not have a short 'o' sound, and either rain or a tie must have a short 'i' sound in them according to the program.

Then again, maybe I'm just the poor reader here and should trust the experts.
