Software Evalution #3

Software Evaluation #3 Arthur’s Reading Race

Evaluation Outline

Title of Software: Arthur’s Reading Race

Producer: Tami Sloan Tsark

Target students (e.g., age or grade-level of students): 1st- 2nd grade

Proficiency level (e.g., beginning, intermediate, advanced): beginning-intermediate

Description: This software is full of colorful graphics that are age appropriate for lower grades. This program provides interactive graphics that the students will enjoy - while learning and reading with Arthur. The students are able to read along with the characters and help build their fluency and comprehension. They are also able to gain letter-sound recognition and phonemic awareness.

Language Skills Targeted: Listening, reading and speaking

Evaluation: Overall the software is age appropriate for beginning readers and the students will enjoy all the interactive characters and activities. I would recommend this program for emergent readers who are at the beginning stages of language development.
