On-Track Reading Readiness (Mac App)

Changing from a non-reader to a beginning reader is a caterpillar-to-butterfly transformation. This innovative app helps emerging readers stretch their wings!

With imagination and a whimsical touch, this On-Track Reading Readiness Mac app guides kindergarteners and first graders through games and activities that introduce and reinforce important language and reading readiness concepts. Kids practice sequencing, matching, rhymes, shapes, opposites, patterns and more. They work on alphabetical order and uppercase and lowercase letters in lessons and exercises that feel like play! A unique progress tracking feature allows children to work at their own pace, bookmarks their progress so they can pick up where they left off and provides instant grading to motivate learning. Colorful graphics, silly sound effects, and funny reward animations enhance the learning experience.

Plus, there are added features like games and personalized printouts. Children can take a break between exercises to play one of three alternating games that challenge and amuse: Memory Match, Frosty Fun, or Launch Pad. Printable worksheets provide off-screen learning opportunities, and progress reports and a completion award certificate reinforce hard work.
