Dragon Park

Game Summary:
Dragon Park consists of five phases, or levels of difficulty, that 
flow into each other as your child completes each phase 
successfully. Your child is currently in phase one.

Like its counterpart game, Dragon Park has a final phase that 
teaches children more than five hundred vocabulary words-
words that, when mastered, will complete the Storybook and save 
the Imagination Space Station. The main difference between the 
two games-other than the characters presented and the screen 
configurations--is that the final phase of Dragon Park consists of 
a more difficult operation--a sorting process--that represents the 
most challenging component of all Electric Reading Land 
activities. This game, therefore, will feel most comfortable to 
older emerging readers--six- to seven-year-olds.

Let's Play:

Phase one: 
This phase begins when one of the treasure chests opens and 
reveals a picture of an object while you see two pictures appear 
among the four boxes. Just as in Dino Beach, your child is asked 
to match two pictures that correspond to the word that Mick the 
Helpbot sounds out: "Find the picture that looks like a net [or a 
cat, or a van, etc.]." The word that Mick is saying will represent 
the object that is in the treasure chest (which functions in the 
same way as the surfboard in Dino Beach). In order to make a 
selection, your child will single-click on whichever boxed picture 
matches the one in the chest. The activity progresses in difficulty 
by adding to the number of choices, growing from two, to three 
and, finally, to four. 

The events that take place when your child selects correctly are 
the same as those in Dino Beach and will occur throughout all 
phases of Dragon Park: a red lightning bolt appears at the bottom 
of the screen, accompanied by an audio signal, and either Jimi or 
Santana the Dragon congratulates the player. 

When your child selects incorrectly, the yellow box will appear in 
the center of the screen, the word is spelled out in that box, and 
Mick repeats it slowly. Then the instructions are given again so 
that your child can try again.

The next phase of the game will begin if your child has made all 
of the phase one selections successfully.
