The
program combines instructed activities and free-play, exploration
activities, which is helpful for children just learning to read.
The setting is Camp Readalot, and JumpStart characters host the
activities. 
Children
can play the game using a traditional mouse interface or they can
use a microphone to call out the answers. This is a good concept,
but unfortunately voice recognition is an inconsistent technology,
and it really isn't appropriate for children just learning to
read. Kids might be calling out a correct answer, but the program
may not be recognizing their responses. Fortunately, the game can
be played in a traditional manner, and it works well without the
voice recognition feature.
