Nice game for the price, definitely for kids over 3 February 2, 2010

Though there are 4 different "categories" that you can land on, I would imagine not many 3 year olds can fully participate in the game. There is a rhyming category that is for the older age group. It will be awhile before our daughter can actually play, but for now she does like to play with the cards and game pieces and enjoys matching the upper and lower case letters. Good game for the price.

I bought this game for my two year old for Christmas. She is learning her letters and this game helps me know which ones she knows and which ones to work on. Her four year old brother can also play this game- at the same time. I just give him different deck of cards. They love to play together or just with mom. Great game and very encouraging to watch them learn.
The grandkids like it. January 23, 2010

The grandkids enjoy this very educational game. It makes learning fun for them. Trouble is, they keep waking me up to play it with them.

This game is great if your child is starting to read however it is absolutely not for 3 year olds. My son loves Super Why, so it is extremely disappointing that he can not play this game; the question were just to hard for him. He just turned 3 and knows the alphabet and he reconizes most letters and still could not answer most of the questions. This just is not a preschool game. I can not stress how disappointed I am. I expected more from PBS.
Fun game, but should be marked 4 and up, not 3 and up. January 8, 2010

I bought this game for my two girls, ages 3 and almost 5. Both are super why fans. My three year old knows her letters and sounds, but cannot read at all. Nor can she spell. This game was way too difficult for the 3 year old. My almost 5 year old can read and the game was good for her. She loved it!
During the game, the readers go around the board and pick up four types of cards. Each type is associated with a different task. The simplest task shows lower case letter and the child must identify the upper case letter on the board. My 3 year old can do this. The second easiest task shows a picture of an object. The child has to identify the first letter or two (if a combined sound like "th" or "sh") on the board. This is too difficult for my 3 year old. The third task shows a picture on the card and the child has to find the word matching the picture on the board. This is too difficult for my 3 year old, easy for my 5 year old (she can read). The fourth task is the hardest - the child has to come up with 2 or three rhyming words. This one is complicated, as the child needs to come up with real words and would be hard for a child who cannot read. Obviously, this is too hard for my 3 year old.
I believe that reading IS required for this game. This game is most appropriate for early readers - kids who can read and are just learning to read. It is not appropriate for kids who are not close to reading.
