Smarty Ants was designed by Mike Wood, the same genius behind the Leapfrog Educational Toys.  Now he has created an online world that kids can travel on. But they won't have to travel alone. Smarty Ants has a fun four legged friend you can bring along for the adventure.  The Phonics Reading Pup sings dozens of songs and tells lots of stories, but you can also plug him into your computer while your child is online at Smarty Ants. My kids all loved the pup. Even the baby who is way to young to learn to read, dances every time the little dog sings. He is definitely the perfect reading companion.

My older kids really loved the online games. Every time I signed them on, they got so excited. It doesn't feel like school work at all. Its like playing video games. Except they are actually learning. If you are interested in trying out Smarty Ants for yourself, you can download a free two week trial. If you love it as much as we did, its available for only $24.99 for three months or $49.99 for the year. If you ever had to pay for a tutor, you'll now that this is a much for affordable and is a lot more fun for the kids. So head on over, and check out Smarty Ants today. You won't be sorry that you did.
