At the beginning of each game, there's a synopsis for parents, with suggestions on how to use the game to reinforce reading skills.

Fun help with reading readiness
My five year old has learned a lot from the games, and the site is so well-designed that she could even play on her own before reading began to kick in. It definitely aided her reading skills while she had fun.
