Guide Review
"Ready for Reading" is the perfect software for those who are ready to read!

"Ready for Reading" is fun, educational and affordable. A child who already recognizes the Hebrew letters and their sounds will enjoy taking the next step toward reading by playing the entertaining games in this program. The games advance from two-syllable words to five-syllable words. Then the child learns to read sentences, and eventually paragraphs. The games are well-designed and fun to play; The program succeeds to hold the child's interest so that he/she progresses through the levels to more advanced levels of reading.
