  
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!
Because children can choose whether to explore a Reading Land, read a storybook,
or play a word game, learning is self-guided and children are in control of
their own learning experience.

Letter Lands
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 specific letter
or blend come to life.
Storybooks
Each Letter Land has two storybooks to read and the storybooks help children
develop visual and auditory word recognition and acquire a sight word
vocabulary. Children can read the stories on their own or hear them dramatized
by a cast of characters.

Each Letter Land has a skill house where children play word games that help
build their literacy skills: listening, speaking, reading, and thinking.
