Description: Frustrated with early education software, Leslie Grimm wanted games to encourage students, not punish them for wrong answers. Enter Reader Rabbit, an upbeat language teacher she designed in 1984 for software publisher The Learning Company. With this animated companion, players gained confidence through memory game matchups and word scrambles. With multiple sequels and a 2018 installment, the franchise supports new generations of alphabet learners.
