"I gave
Reading Success in the Itty Bitty City [software] to my three-
year-old
grand-nephew for his birth-day. I wanted to see if he was ready
for it. My niece reported that he
chose to use it every day,
loved it,
and - this was the surprise - so did
his seven-year-old
sister."
---Joan Anderson, parent and
grand aunt of Kelsey and Kaden
"Our
two oldest kids got ready for school without a problem. But
we couldn't get Matt to sit still long enough to learn his
letters and the other things we knew he should know going
into kindergarten. When we put him in front of The Itty Bitty
City, he played the games for long periods of time, took a
break, and went back to it again. In about three months he
could read and was well prepared for school."
---Mark Faulkner, parent
"ITTY
BITTY CITY! I LOVE ITTY
BITTY CITY!"
---First grade student, upon noticing
a shopping mall demonstration
of
the software, which he used
in his school.

This is what we hear from parents:
-
The
software is easy to use
Children
love the games and music
They
get attached to the characters
Before
you know it, the children are reading
It
offers hours of free "babysitting"
The
sheer quantity of material in the complete software program
keeps children learning for months
A test
at the end of each learning set ensures success. If your child
makes
100% on the test (which appears as a game), the program
will promote
your child to the next new skill. If your child
makes less than 100% on the
test, the software has your child
repeat the skill lessons and repeat the test
to ensure mastery
of that level. Advantages:
-
Your
child never experiences failure: a wrong answer prompts the
program to say, "Let's try again!" and a right answer
prompts the
program to say, "Good job!"
-
Your child never gets bored because s/he is always working
at his/her
challenge level.
-
Your child never misses learning an essential skill, but
builds a solid
foundation for ongoing reading success.
-
The string of successes encourages your child to go to
the next level, and your child's self image becomes, "I
am a smart, competent learner."
-
Your child experiences learning as fun, which establishes
and reinforces interest in formal learning in a classroom
or in a home school setting.
-
You can access a report of your child's progress at all
times.
