The third learning adventure in the Nickelodeon Literacy Suite, Dora ABCs Vol 3: Ready to Read! focuses on your child's early reading and phonics skills. After reviewing letter sounds in Dora ABCs Vol 1: Letter & Letter Sounds, and learning phonemic awareness with Dora ABCs Vol 2: Rhyming Words your child is now ready to read! In Dora ABCs Vol 3: Ready to Read!, your child will begin to see that letters can be organized in a specific sequence to represent words. By changing the beginning, final or middle letters of these words, they can turn one word into another, a game called "word ladders". The ability to manipulate first, last and inside letters of simple words is an important skill to becoming a proficient reader.
In this game, Dora and Boots need your child's help crossing Water Lily Lake to get to the Fantastic Frog Fiesta on the other side. By sounding out words or changing letters of words to make new ones, the player will help Dora and Boots cross the lake by hopping on the lily pads. Supportive directions and sound effects help guide your child in learning how to sound out words and start to read.
In between phonics activities, three whimsical mini games with Dora's frog friends offer additional play: turn lily pads to get the frogs to a flower, match colorful frogs and flowers, or stack all the frogs on a moving lily pad to reach a high flower. All three games are interspersed among the phonics activities.
Dora and Boots can't make it to the Fantastic Frog Fiesta without your child's help! ¡Vámonos! Let's go!
Dora ABCs Vol 3: Ready to Read! includes:
• Easy to use tutorials lead by Dora
• 5 Levels of game play with a rich set of age appropriate words for beginning readers
• Curriculum developed and reviewed by preschool education expert
• Word ladders in which kids can change words by manipulating first, last and inside sounds.

Dora ABCs Vol 3: Reading Positive Reviews
Fun for older toddlers!This is more made for older kids, as it involves phonics and spelling. Love how it teaches kids to sound out the words!.Dukies300Version: 1.3
IOS6 problemsMy daughter loves this app, unfortunately with the update to IOS6 the intro video hangs. Doing a "pinch" hides the video. The problem seems to be that the videos are not closing. To continue playing the game you need to pinch closed a video when it's done playing. Look forward to an update. Again great app! Just an unexpected bug with the new IOS6..BrianRoweVersion: 1.3
Crashes a lotGood program great idea. Just really buggy. It crashes repeatedly as does the other app from Nickelodeon. Its also really repetitive an short for a paid app. The crashing is the most annoying part and I have a brand new iPod with latest OS so its not that. Needs to work out issues before I would buy from then again..Solazul23Version: 1.1
Nice job on thisI was impressed with how long this kept my daughter's attention. Some people said it didn't keep their children occupied long enough. Mine is only 3, so perhaps their children were older? Overall a good app, well worth the $1.99 for my child..Katrobk8Version: 1.0
Great app for readingMy kids enjoyed matching the images with the words. They also enjoyed the mini games within the app which kept things fun and interesting. I highly recommend this app..LinolaldaneseVersion: 1.3
Love it!My 3 y/o loves this game. She is sounding out the letters and creating words on her own. It also has other games inside it where she has to match colors and figure out how to change the directions. Would definitely recommend!.Chuck chowVersion: 1.0
Dora 3Granddaughter love this! But when I try to download it to new iPhone ! Will not work! Tried downloading it three times! Help!! What is funny but not funny! Is it worked find on my iPhone 3, but not on 4GS! Please fix.D.DoddVersion: 1.3
My son lovesMy son loves Dora and loves this game. Plays again and again. I guess some kids find it easier, but kids are different at different ages. Be happy your kid is so far along. Anyway - thanks Nick! My son loves hearing Dora anytime!.NystromVersion: 1.0
Great app!Found this to be a great app! Loved the graphics and different games! A little short but my 4 yr. old loved it!.Mother of a four yr. oldVersion: 1.2
It's aightI installed it and let my little 4 year old cousin play it. It was an easy game. But it kept her quiet. So..... Works for me. Lol.DrSnoddyVersion: 1.0
Just okI'd be happy to revise this once there's more content. When a 3 yr old can finish it in less than 10 minutes there's an issue..RichPNifongVersion: 1.0
OkWish it had more levels and more variety of words.FlexmastaVersion: 1.3

Dora ABCs Vol 3: Reading Negative Reviews
Needs some phonics lessonsUnfortunately the very first word for my son to sound out was "car". This is a r-controlled word (the "ar" sounds like the letter r's name). Although in the game you touch each letter and it made each letter's sound (c-a-r) with the short "a" sound. "car" has two phonetic sounds (c-ar) not three. Unsure if there are any other incorrect words and hope that these kinds of errors will be fixed..HdphxVersion: 1.2
BoringKid played for about 30 min. She made it across lake and was thrilled went to next level and same thing. Told her she had to keep going because I paid for this game for her. Made it across again, had to help her some, but when got across started next level and same thing. Some on Nick. Knows better than this. Waste of money!!!!!!!!.CavefisherVersion: 1.0
Used to work...now it doesn'tMy 3 year old son loved playing this game, but all the sudden, it stopped working. It will not progress further than the Nickelodeon opening screen. We can hear Dora's voice, but it seems to be stuck. Very frustrating..Jeremy's Desktop LibraryVersion: 1.3
Great App for the kidsHad problem with the app hanging on the Nick launch screen but I finally figured out if you wait for Dora to tell you to touch the green arrow then do the "pinch in" motion the launch screen goes away (iOS 6.0.1). Hope they fix this in next update..Citizen 12Version: 1.3
App not workingI hope the developers are reading the reviews and come up with a fix soon. It was working, but we can't get into the game now. At the intro, Dora says to press the green arrow, but there is no green arrow. Please fix! I've had this app for a while, but if it isn't going to work, I would want my money back too..I'm a weight watcherVersion: 1.3
MomApp doesn't work at all! Apparently for a very long time! Why is it still available for purchase? Same problem I read about too late! Won't show past white nick screen. But can hear the voice of Dora. I want a credit or an upgrade to fix problem!.JamminjmmVersion: 1.3
Highly upset!!!This app use to open prior to the iOS upgrade but now isn't working. I need a refund ASAP. The kids keep trying to play it cause they use to enjoy it but now it's no good. Please fix and fix fast or else refund everyone who purchased this app, because this is ridiculous..Briteeyez78Version: 1.3
DisappointingGreat graphics, but overall not worth the money. Not educational enough. My daughter literally completed this game in less than 5 min. There were some good points, but needs still needs some work!.Richgirl9Version: 1.0
Got our money but not fixingMy son loves this app but it hasn't been working for at least a week. I have reloaded several times. If it hasn't been fixed by now, then the company must take the money and run. I would give it 5 stars- if it worked..KmrwilVersion: 1.3
Mad!! DON'T BUY!! Should Have Read The Reviews!!!!Come on developers! Why the heck won't this app open! It's stuck on the stupid Nickelodeon screen telling me to press a non existent green button! My 4 1/2 yr old is upset and therefore I'm upset. FIX THE D**N THING!!!!!!!! This only gets one star because its making me!.Auntie VeeVersion: 1.3
If only I could give it a zeroHorrible that they can keep selling this game to people when it doesn't even work. I tried reloading several times and my son was very disappointed! Shame on u for not pulling this app from market since its not free!.Mama manda panda bearsVersion: 1.3
Way shortNot certain what I expected for a $2 app but this was disappointing. Bought it to keep my niece busy and she finished it in about 8 minutes. Little to no replay value. Great graphics..XbekaxbugxVersion: 1.0
