Join Barbie in solving the mysteries of Malibu's missing shoes, rhinestones and cupcakes.
The Learning Difference:
"Players sort words into 'families' (dig, wig, fig) that share spelling patterns, which helps them read and spell new words. Players also identify items that rhyme or share the same beginning, middle, or ending sounds—skills linked to reading success." – Carolyn J., LeapFrog Learning Expert
