Amazon.co.uk Review
The Reading Year 1 programme is an effective introduction to literacy and reading skills. It reinforces those skills children are taught at school. Starting with vowel sounds the child works through different activities that encourage them to understand word and sentence building, letter combinations, spelling and reading comprehension. There are 13 reading skills in six fun-filled carnival games. Each skill has a choice of three levels of difficulty. The programme is all about "Frankie's fantastic circus adventure". Frankie is the host who used to be a star performer in the circus, but thought he'd left that all behind him. Mandy, an old circus friend, visits Frankie with some bad news: a mean magician called The Amazing Mel has turned all the performers into a picture puzzle and then hidden the pieces somewhere in the carnival. He has also cast a spell on Mandy trapping her inside a magical force field. Mandy and Frankie ask for help to solve this puzzling mystery. To find the missing pieces the child has to earn game tickets by playing wacky carnival games. When four tickets have been earned the programme takes us to the Lost and Found wagon, where a clue is offered leading to one of the missing puzzle pieces. There are 20 pieces to be found, five for each performer, so to rescue Mandy and all the circus performers all four sections of the puzzle must be completed. The first of the six games is called Jungle Bowl and this teaches the spelling of words. Game two is called "Splatter the Batter" where the child has to select the correct noun verb or adjective. The third game, "Pluck a Pearl", has the player picking out the correct word with either long or short vowels. "Strong Dog" is the fourth game and this helps the child to match rhyming words, words that mean the same or are opposites. Game number five is called "Mighty Mallet", and this asks the child to select the right blend, digraph or compound word part. Lastly, game six encourages the player to read along and listen to Madam Tigre's stories as she asks two questions after each story.
