Learning is an ongoing process for everyone, and it is particularly important to encourage children to learn. New experiences of all types enable children to learn naturally, but it is also important to provide structured experiences to help them to develop skills that are needed for school. Reader Rabbit Junior is designed to do just that, and has been produced in conjunction with education professionals, parents and children. It is one of a range of systems specifically designed by The Learning Company, and is suitable for children 4-6 years old. It uses reading, arithmetic and problem solving to encourage and heighten a child's interest and learning. The package consists of two discs, "Reader Rabbit's Personalised Junior" and "Reader Rabbit's Personalised Learning Centre". Disc one uses that ADAPT Learning Technology which is designed to constantly adapted to match each player's growing abilities: A-assesses abilities D-develops skills A-adjusts levels P-provides help T-tracks progress Reader Rabbit and his friends are getting ready for a campfire party, and the activities and games provide opportunities to extend skills in early reading, letters and numbers, similarities and differences, simple arithmetic, ordering and sequencing, measurement, critical thinking, directional words, time concepts, seasons and months, social skills, problem solving. All activities support the National Curriculum Key at Stage One. This disc is a perfect "follow-on" for children who have already mastered the personalised Reader Rabbit Nursery package.
