The Learning Difference

"To unlock secret doors, players practice letter and sight word recognition skills, explore rhyming words and homophones, and swap letters to build new words. Along with these core literacy skills, players can build listening comprehension and story sequencing skills as they solve picture panel puzzles." --Carolyn J., LeapFrog Learning Expert
