Captain Frankie the hound dog and his sidekick Floyd are ready to sail their pirate ship to Toy Island in this 32-page phonics workbook for kids at the beginning first-grade reading level. Each full-color worksheet offers a different activity, and kids will get lots of practice with rhyming words, middle and ending sounds, word families, matching sounds, vowels, and sound blends. An adult will need to help with the directions for the worksheets and with "Frankie's Facts," a special feature that helps explain vowels and sound blends. Kids will enjoy the sheet of reward stickers included with the workbook and the octopus and dolphin stickers to add to a certificate when the workbook is finished. Frankie and Floyd are just two of the many animal characters from JumpStart, a leading software program for young children. (Ages 4 to 8) --Marcie Bovetz
