Er-u-di-tion is a board game designed to
jump-start your child's road to reading by incorporating over
300 sight words and the letters of the alphabet in a fun game.
Erudition takes emergent readers on an adventure through
literacy land complete with common landmarks and street signs.
The first player to reach the library is the winner! Players of
all reading levels can participate with game cards designed for
varying skill sets. The sight word
game cards include syllabication and simple definitions to
assist in word decoding, word pronunciation and reading
comprehension. Through repetitive interaction with basic phonic
sounds, sight words and their definitions, emergent readers
enhance their reading skills while playing a fun game.

A game that helps teach children as
young as three and four how to read...hmmm...sounds like
this will be an impossible task...or just another game
for the junk pile, right? Wrong! Erudition
is fun - and it really does work by helping children
just learning to read use sight assist in learning
words. Our review team was definitely pleased with
how quickly and easily kids were able to pick up the
game play - grab the dice and get moving! And with
cards/words designed for varying skill sets and levels -
a wide range of children can all play at the same time.
Our parents were most thrilled, and sure to point out,
how refreshing it was to see older children even helping
the younger children sound through words! |

Erudition is made well to last long!
The box, board and card are all durable and ready to
handle pretty much anything your kids can throw at them
during the normal course of game play. No cause
for concern here. |

Well made - bright, fun colorful
cards. And the best part is this game just
encourages interaction. So...start up a game like
we did, and watch the kids flock to it. Now that
is visual appeal! |

Erudition is a fun game to play -
and not just because of the topic or questions - but
because it moves through game play well. And like
we mentioned before, there are different levels of
questions for children of different skill levels.
This makes Erudition and fun game for 8 year olds to
play with 4 year olds - that is the type of adaptability
and functionality are reviewers love. |

In a blind survey our review team
priced Erudition between $20 and $25. With an
actual retail price of $24.99 - the review team was
happy to be right on for once! For the price, the
amount of game play, and the durability factor - you
can't go wrong with Erudition. |

There are other games, flash cards
and tools out there to help children learn to read.
Some are even designed to help them sound out words.
Our review team was definitely impressed however, with
how well Erudition accomplishes this task. With
encouragement, fun game play and older children even
assisting younger kids our team felt that Erudition was
definitely a new spin. |

Overall our review team really
liked Erudition. The game played extremely
well, and children of a variety of skill levels and
ages had fun playing (and don't tell them, but they
were learning at the same time!). Erudition is
durable, so it will last long, and as your child
advances their level of reading, the game can grow
with them. Nicely done! |
