We recently got to try out the new My Virtual Tutor: Reading Kindergarten to 1st Grade game for Nintendo DS.

By combining the kid-friendly Nintendo DS with a proven reading curriculum developed and tested at the University of Colorado, My Virtual Tutor: Reading Kindergarten to 1st Grade makes learning reading skills fun, affordable and portable!  Through interactive books, school age and grade relevant phonics instruction and  fun quiz modes, your child will learn the comprehension, phonics, fluency and vocabulary necessary to become an expert reader, all  while having fun with their Nintendo DS. 

What I enjoyed most about this was how interested Isabella was in it. It kept her attention; which as we all know is hard to do with a 5 year old. Not only that, but My Virtual Tutor: Reading Kindergarten to 1st Grade has really helped her! She is recognizing more and more words on sight. Her is what she thought of the game:

Isabella’s (5) Review:
“I like how it records my voice. It’s always fun when you click the square because it’s so cool when you are finished you get a heart. It’s so fun when you get to read because you learn.”
