Reviews:

Just Adventure by Sean T. Davis

"...game is designed to focus on building phonics skills that help a child combine a series of phoneme sounds to make words. Being an elementary teacher I can attest to the need for students to develop both sound and word recognition and the people at Scholastic have done a great job."

"The game provides a lot of positive feedback as your child completes each task. I purposely missed tasks to see if I got yelled at, but was surprised with a “not quite it” statement. The carnival worker also appears with a bizarre tongue-twister if he waits to long for the player to choose a game."
