Each module contains three books and three CDROMS. Module 1 is for ages 2-4, Module 2 is for ages 3-5, Module 3 is for ages 4-6 and module 4 is for ages 5-8. Modules can be purchased individually or as a complete package.

In response to message posted by clane:My son doesn't seem to "get" phonics and I think he is more of a visual learner. Does anyone know of good reading software with a mor visual approach? Do you think the Living Books might be good to help him learn? He is four and a half but kids go to school in my country at 5

There's an older Arthur title which relies a lot on sight words and not a lot of phonics. It's called Arthur's Learning Games. I've been trying to think what other reading programs I have that aren't phonic based, and that's the only one which comes to mind. And yes, the Living Books would be good also. There are a lot of those out there...check some of the discount places for good prices, since these are older programs. If I think of anything else, I'll let you know.Kay Pluta
