The iPhone Mom Tests the Reading Game
There is something very special about the insightful perceptions of a discerning Mom. In this case, the iPhone Mom. She has shared her enthusiasm and given us a great idea for an upgrade, too! Moms rock!

The Reading Game has a beautiful feel to it. The illustrations that are displayed in the background look like they’ve come straight out of a fairytale. It’s very simple to use the app.
The rewards are silly animations and sounds and there are oodles of them to earn. I thought they were crazy and borderline annoying but my kids felt the complete opposite way. Surprise!
I really like the concept behind The Reading Game and I am all for anything that keeps kids reading. I like the way it keeps tracks of the pages that you have read and how many you have left.
My only suggestion for this app is to add in a way to keep track of different reader profiles. Right now I see all of our books in one list and my kids share the unlocked rewards. It’d be nice to have separate profiles but that’s just a minor quibble. Overall I think this is a fantastic free resource for parents.
