Brainiac Steve wants to manufacture The Big News Gazette - but he needs your help. Set in a library, Blue's Reading Time Activities has five reading activities and games for you to tackle for the magazine to become reality.

Put a Dictionary together by matching various terms with hand-drawn pictures, where each term features a word card with an educational definition. Once the dictionary is complete, help Fan create an intriguing story by placing icon-driven stickers into a coherent order. Arrange all stickers and Faan reads your creation aloud. The Word Match card game requires you to match corresponding facedown cards together. So, in addition to matching, you need to remember the location of each card. But what publication would be complete without informational interviews? In the Interview section, you question various characters, like Green Kitten, and complete their stories. There are numerous preference questions, each with multiple-choice answers.

Once Steve's dream is realized, you can save The Big News Gazette to a hard-drive and print it out. Blue's Reading Time Activities builds skills in writing, word and letter recognition, comprehension, prediction, and listening. ~ Matthew House, All Game Guide
