A-N-I-M-A-L-S is a groundbreaking educational game with a unique purpose:

To help children learn to read as easily and as naturally as they learn
to speak. While they are playing–hitting keys to make pictures of
animals appear on the screen–the game has children practicing the
fundamental principles of written language, so they learn by doing.

This hands-on alternative to the usual methods lets children start much
earlier and gain proficiency faster. And it’s also more fun!

Features include:

• Based on research by leading scientists and educators.
• Precise feedback throughout guides exploration so children learn
  quicker.
• Designed so children play before they can use the mouse.
• Three progressive levels so each child can start with the right
  challenge.
• Uses recorded voices of native speakers.
• Multiple languages: currently English, French, German and Spanish.
• Illustrated with hundreds of photographs of animals, plants, toys,
  tools, etc.

What’s New:
Version 1.3 adds audio feedback for syllables in addition to letters and words. Users of previous versions may upgrade at no cost.
