However, as a parent, I don't feel that this updated version of reading blaster would have much educational value. It is not suitable for kids still learning their phonics, but perhaps may provide limited fun for kids who are more advanced. The games are too easy to succeed at by simply guessing at all the words (there are no penalties or buzzing sounds for wrong answers). I would not consider this to be a useful educational title.
