CTR Review

This dry, 32-page interactive book by Jennifer Marks is not very interactive. You can flip through each page with clean controls, and hear the page read, in stilted but clear narration. The authors obviously wanted to emphasize clarity over expression. As you can tell by the title, the book shows how colors are sorted in your environment; yet there's not much of a storyline or plot to this book, and there are no record keeping features. Designed for English Language Learners (ELL), emergent readers, and struggling readers who want to improve their reading skills, the program runs in Flash player and requires no installation on current Macintosh or Windows computers.
