Reader Rabbit Personalized Math Ages
6-9
Reader Rabbit Personalized Math builds children's
elementary math skills as children help sam the Lion, Penelope the Parrot, and
Reader Rabbit explore Pirate Island. Sam the Lion has entered his brand-new
boat - The Sea Lion - in a race and has invited Reader Rabbit to join him and
his crew. Together they set sail along with the other boats in the race.
However, they become lost in a storm after trying to take a shortcut, and the
two friends find themselves shipwrecked on Pirate Island. The Sea Lion is
destroyed, so Sam must search the island looking for parts that Reader Rabbit
can use to build a new boat. Luckily, Sam and Reader Rabbit run into their old
friend, Penelope the Parrot, who offers to show Sam around the island.
The nine included activities are designed to improve children's math skills
in a fun and engaging way. Arcade activities use fast action to give children
practice in rapidly recognizing the correct answers, thereby helping children to
memorize basic math facts. Exploration activities encourage children to
experiment with math concepts as they solve problems in the context of the
program.
Each activity in Reader Rabbit Personalized Math has multiple 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. Carefully
tracks players' responses to each level's activities, using that information to
adjust the type of puzzle presented.
