Educational Software is computer software which is used primarily for teaching or self-learning.
The Reader Rabbit educational software will be discussed.
WHAT IT IS:
This franchise was created in 1986 by The Learning Company. The Reader Rabbit series makes up the greater part of software titles available in the franchise. The software is grade-based and subject-based and designed to teach skills such as Language Arts and Mathematics in a fun environment of music, games and lovable characters.
RELEVANCE/SUITABILITY/USEFULNESS:
Reader Rabbit titles are available for all age groups up to nine years old including toddlers. The software is user friendly and the curriculum addressed in each title is relevant to each age group. The approach of learning via song and games is the perfect example of our ideal of the holistic development of the individual. Our curriculum is also based on teaching Language Arts by applying the phonics approach. There are many Reader Rabbit titles which have great emphasis on the use of phonics. The characters are lovable and portray positive values like honesty and teamwork, which make them good examples of role models for students. With the proper permission, I think that Reader Rabbit should be made available on computers in the school environment since it has proven beyond a doubt to enhance the Language and Math skills of students.
Below are some youtube.com links showing the application of Reader Rabbit Software.
This is interesting!, I think educational software on the whole especially for young children is a great way of introducing them to the use of technology while learning, and they have fun while doing it. We all know that learning is more successfully accomplished while having fun. Good Job!
