About This Game

Designed for readers ages six through nine, The Great Reading Adventure enlists national R.I.F. (Reading is Fundamental) spokesperson Howie Mandel to make literacy feel like anything but schoolwork. Players are guided through more than a thousand exercises spanning phonics, reading comprehension, word families, and context clues—all backed by a 4,500-word database. Characters Lil' Howie, Stinky, and Alphabot bring the lessons to life through original songs and excerpts drawn from classic children's literature. Six games and five years worth of curriculum round out the package, setting a new benchmark in the award-winning Great Adventure series.
