DS Games for Pre-readers?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the what's-wrong-with-puzzle-quest dept.

ProfJonathan writes "My daughter just got a DS from the grandparents for her 6th birthday. She's only beginning to read, but wants a bunch of games of her own rather than just playing her older brothers' games. She got Nintendogs with the DS, so that's taken care of, but other relatives are asking what she might want. Can anyone recommend some good DS games that don't require reading skill, that might be age-appropriate and interesting for a 1st grade girl?" Wouldn't it be creepy if the kid had a really good brain age?

    I started reading when I was 1.5. What kind of world is this where kids don't read until they're 6?

  2. What? by Hooptyjr · · Score: 0, Redundant

    She's 6 and she can't read?

    I for one welcome our six-year-old, illiterate overlords.
