Additional Details ------------------------------ Product description: Changing from a non-reader to a beginning reader is a caterpillar-to-butterfly transformation. This software helps emerging readers stretch their wings! With imagination and a whimsical touch, this On-Track Reading Readiness software guides kindergarteners and first graders through games and activities that introduce and reinforce important language concepts.
