Curious George ABC Adventure by Houghton Mifflin
CD-ROM for Mac or PC
Evaluated on a Gateway
Reviewed: March 11, 1999
List price: $39.95
Rating: 8 on a scale of 1-10, Cool.

Curious George ABC Adventure is designed to improve letter recognition through various activities. There are 4 different games: the skywriting game, the fishing game, the concentration game and the zoo activity (there are a few additional activities within this game).

The students from Computer Café enjoyed the zoo activity the best as it contained hidden adventures (that reinforced letter identification). The younger students and students with special needs easily completed each activity with little assistance.

What makes this software Way Cool? This software lets the children work at their own pace. Our kids loved to print out their work .

We would have liked an easy way to escape from some of the activities..

Most appropriate for Pre-k, K and grade 1.

This software would be appropriate for Special Needs students of all ages who need practice in letter recognition and computer skills.
