OK... so I understand that kids love games and therefore encouraging reading through games is pretty much a no-brainer.
However, I would still strongly argue that there is no substitute for a good book and imagination, so as long as we us it as a secondary teaching tool for reading I think it's a good idea.
I do wonder though... there have been countless studies about how watching TV turns kid's brains to mush, I can't imagine how a computer can be that much better. I guess that's why we only allow two hours per card... to prevent brain-mush. Who knew?
Hrmmm...I wonder if I can do a cannon-ball...
