- Reader Rabbit
Reader Rabbit is an
edutainment software franchise created in1989 byThe Learning Company .Fact|date=September 2008 This series currently makes up the greater part of a franchise of grade-based and subject-based titles, where the games forinfancy throughsecond grade feature Reader Rabbit. The games forthird grade throughsixth grade instead feature "The ClueFinders ".As one might presume, the first game in the series taught
language arts , featuring a variety of simple games designed to teach schoolchildren basic reading and spelling skills. Originally, the title character's name was changed to reflect a change in subject, as with "Math Rabbit", but it has apparently since been decided to retain the character's original name regardless of the subject area covered by a particular game. "Reader Rabbit" is presumably a play on "Peter Rabbit ".The four main characters are Reader Rabbit, Sam the Lion, Mattie the Mouse and Wonder Pony.
