Also known as "Phonics are Fun with Reader Rabbit"?

A really confusing release of Reader Rabbit that wasn't marketed as a Reader Rabbit game very explicitly. And terrifying animations. Ooh. Nasty.

Your kids can:

  • Choose the words with the correct spelling patterns to fill up the train!

AS A NOTE: This copy I have, at least in my version of SheepShaver, doesn't seem to want to open correctly. I have to open the copy of the Preschool application at the BOTTOM of the window, not the one on the top. And the animations are extremely laggy. If anyone knows what's wrong, please tell me.

Also, another version of this is here under the name "Let's Start Learning".

From Amazon...
