This educational software is designed to provide entertaining reading activities for computer users aged three to six years. Like other titles in the series, JumpStart Phonics offers several features that allow parents and children to customize the format and difficulty of the learning experience. The main interface is structured like a friendly virtual summer camp - "Camp Readalot." Players must explore the campsite to find different activities, which involve many aspects of phonics and early reading skills. The game also features original children's music and the sing-along songs can be played from the game disc in most standard CD players.
