The following product details were retrieved from the ClickN’ Kids website.

The Letter Sound Chamber

All lessons begin here. The onscreen instructor, ClickN’ KID, gently guides your child through interactive letter sound exercises where the letter sounds and their corresponding letter shapes are learned and practiced. Each lesson introduces a new letter sound which is then practiced along with five other previously introduced letter sounds.

The Listening Cube

After the Letter Sound Chamber your child is automatically taken to the Listening Cube which systematically incorporates the letter sounds taught in the Letter Sound Chamber into beginning, middle and ending letter sounds in words. Those same letter sounds are then systematically incorporated into a word blending exercise which teaches your child how to decode the individual letter sounds in a word and come up with the sound of the word.

The Reading Room

The Reading Room now incorporates the letter sounds and word blends, introduced in the first two learning environments, into new words and progressively builds your child’s ability to decode sentences and short stories.

Sequentially over the 100 lessons the following exercises are presented. All new elements taught in any given lesson are incorporated into the last Reading Room exercise, Story Reading. The program short stories contain the equivalent content of dozens of children’s early reading books.

The Speed Chamber

Following the Reading Room, your child enters the Speed Chamber where all letter sounds and words taught in the lessons are reviewed and practiced. Your child must make as many correct responses as possible within a preset number of minutes. This environment builds the automatic decoding skills essential for reading success.
