What does the program try to accomplish? |
Reader Rabbit’s
1st Grade offers 12 activities that help to reinforce early skills
in literacy, math, science, problem solving and art. Although this software
is geared toward 1st graders, the content is taxing for newcomers. This software is best used with young ESL
students who have reached a low intermediate or intermediate skill level in
English. |
