Great for regular practice
The speech recognition in this app tracks along pretty well for my 5 year old. I really like that the app plays back the sentence after my son reads it. He will sometimes zoom through a sentence, mis-reading words and the 'replay' helps him to slow down and revisit the words he didn't know. Good for regular reading practice... the game is encouraging and there are a good variety of short stories.

Great for 6 & 8 year old!
My 6 year old son and 8 year old daughter had a fun time reading stories out loud with Reading Racer this past weekend. They especially loved playing the app in "Race" mode. I was impressed that the speech recognition software worked as well as it did. My daughter also enjoyed helping her brother while he was reading the stories.

Wheee!
Our 4yo is just starting to read and I am surprised at how he was able to get going from his very first race practice! Look forward to tracking his progress as he gets the hang of this reading business. Keep up the good work!
Great learning game
Very fun game for early reader... it's got a game-like concept that engrossed younger kids so they motivated to learn reading..
My son loves it!
It is sometimes a struggle to get my son to practice reading. We have done a lot of bribing. But he sees playing Reading Racer as a reward and I don't have to twist his arm to play!
Fun App!
Well this was fun. I downloaded and started playing with my niece. She is learning to read. And the game actually showed me when I was slurring my words. So not only does it work for kids, it is helping me with diction. And my niece loves to try and beat her Aunt. Too fun. I already sent the app to my kids for their kids. I look forward to racing my grandkids. Thanks for the tip! Racing On!

Cultivated a good reader AND it's fun!
Great to get your kids reading aloud and have game time at the same time. My younger twin had trouble reading and this was a great supplement to our reading together everyday. I didn't have to beg him to use the program - once he got the hang of it, he liked "racing." My older twin is a good reader but this game helped him slow down and annunciate. I recommend this for all developing readers especially those having trouble.
