Dear Parents,

The software I Spy is educational- in a very different and exciting way. Instead of drilling kids on learning facts, I Spy develops critical thinking skills. Knowing how to think is an essential ingredient for success in learning and life.

I Spy is fun! Our experts at Scholastic- a company my father founded in 1920 and now the most trusted name in learning- have creatively designed this CD-ROM to excite and fascinate your child. Fun is important; educators have proven that kids learn best through self-motivated play.

Playing I Spy is challenging yet satisfying for kids as young as five and as old as nine. Early readers learn new vocabulary words, practice reading, and use memory skills while solving clever rhyming riddles. Older kids use creative writing skills to make their own riddles or use logic to make connections. Your child will play and enjoy I Spy for years!

I Spy is educational, your kids will love it, and it's right for kids ages five to nine. We guarantee it!
