Reader Rabbit is an educational software program created in 1986 to teach young children reading, spelling, and writing skills in a systematic way. The program covers topics from infancy through second grade and tracks each student's progress, showing their strengths and weaknesses. It aims to make learning fun through an interactive adventure while reinforcing important curriculum skills like phonics, vocabulary, and comprehension. Reader Rabbit can now also be used at home through online and Wii versions.
