A multitude of helpful forest friends inhabit these treehouses, each eager to explore and share knowledge.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEarly-learning skills appear in attractive, real-world contexts. Examples include:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMusic — kids literally play an animal band.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eScience — users watch animated videos of a Venus flytrap capturing prey.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA trip to the virtual toy store, where users purchase items with carefully counted coins.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Acorn Arcade, which fine-tunes phonics and reading skills.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReady for School 1st Grade tackles important first-grade skills:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePhonics and reading\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVocabulary building\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAddition and subtraction\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eScience\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWriting\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTelling time\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMaps and directions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eArt, music, and sequencing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach treehouse location focuses on at least one of these areas, with drills and, to a lesser extent, instructional material.

Three difficulty levels can be adjusted manually or set to auto, allowing the computer to adapt to the user's ability. The treehouse theme was well liked by our kid testers. They enjoyed building and decorating their own treehouses and were pleased with the way rewards earned throughout the forest were incorporated into their interior decor.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor Windows (32-bit Systems) \/ Mac (Power Macintosh: OS 9 or Below) [*Please review compatibility\/platform sections in 'What You Get']\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Davidson","offers":[{"title":"Used In Sleeve","offer_id":50662847742230,"sku":"6785","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0083\/0377\/1710\/files\/2008411183546155_3c457b3a-efbe-4d65-9e15-5d3d966439ca.jpg?v=1771410252","url":"https:\/\/www.neverdiemedia.com\/products\/fisher-price-ready-for-school-1st-grade-1","provider":"NeverDieMedia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
