Key Features and Benefits: Phonics skills Before they can read independently, children must learn the relationship of letters to their sounds and be able to distinguish individual sounds, or phonemes, within words. Phonics skills help children sounds out new words. The alphabet Knowing the letters of the alphabet is one of the first steps toward learning to read and write. Introducing letters to young children helps them learn to recognize the different shapes and names - an early indicator for reading achievement. Vowels Spelling begins with regular short vowel sounds (cap) and long vowel sounds (with silent e, cap becomes cape). Finally, children learn the rules and patterns of vowel pairs (ee), digraphs (ai in train), dipthongs (oi in boil) and r-controlled vowels (farm, bird). Early number sense As early as 6 months, babies begin to understand the concept of numbers, noticing small groups of one, two or three things. As children develop number sense they learn to count by ones, skip count and count backwards, gaining the foundation for operations. Children who have good number sense find learning operations like addition and subtraction much easier. Number recognition To begin their study of math, children must distinguish numerals from letters and shapes and understand that numbers are symbols for amounts. Sequencing Even toddlers can often recite number names in order, but the ability to compare and order numbers in sequence indicates a practical application of number concepts. Addition Once children know that numbers are symbols for objects (2 stands for two cars) they learn to count sets, or groups of objects, to find sums. Finally, sets of objects can be replaced by numerals and added together in equations. Subtraction The inverse of addition is subtraction - to take away objects and tell how many are left. Once children grasp subtraction, sets of objects can be replaced by numerals in equations.

My daughter (age 4) is a HUGE Wall-E Fan. This game gave her the fun of working with her favorite characters while developing an array of skills to help her get ready for school next year.
My 5yr old son loves this game!! He likes "riding around on the spaceship". I like it because I can hear him playing it and laughing while he is learning. We have had problems with Leapster/games in the past but I'm glad we stuck it out because he learns so much from them! :)
he loves this game and loves wall-e and he learns while playing the game
My son loves this game
I bought this for my 4 year old because the age range says 4 - 7 on the box but it's a little too hard for him. He gets frustrated and wants to play my daughters DS instead. This is probably fine for a 5 - 7 year old that can identify science type things better.
