Students use their reading skills to practice making inferences--as they snowboard down a hazardous mountain! Perfect for use on computers, SMART Boards and other interactive whiteboards, our activity-filled software adds action and adventure to comprehension lessons. The interactive game includes tons of features to keep kids super-engaged--like fun animation and sound effects that provide instant reinforcement...plus hidden hazards that pop up at every turn. To play, children read short, level-appropriate passages on the screen and answer follow-up questions by making inferences. Each correct answer moves them farther down the slope--but obstacles and ice patches may send them back to the top of the mountain! CD-ROM comes complete with a printable assessment. For Mac/Win.
