      My 5 year old son asks to play Kangaroo Cravings!

      My son has SO MUCH FUN playing this wonderful game that he proactively asks to play it by himself! The best part is that he's learning at the same time. His reading and speech skills have improved quite a lot in the past couple of weeks. It's amazing! Love love love!

      Learning is fun and sticky

      As a teacher, I'm always looking for tools that are great for learning and also fun for kids. This game is truly a terrific reading game. I use it all the time and think other teachers will love it too. It makes learning all the high-frequency words fun - and sticky.

      Game Changer!!!

      The literacy experts behind Popped and Kangaroo Cravings really know what they're doing. My dyslexic son asks to play - and given that he hates to read - this is a HUGE deal.
