Teachers and parents have found Word Munchers Deluxeto be great way to build kids’ confidence in reading, grammar, and vocabulary skills. That’s because Word Munchers Deluxe, like other MECC products, combines excellent educational content with an engaging interface and game-play that makes kids want to learn.
Kids must solve a variety of reading, grammar, and vocabulary problems — from word identification to sentence completion, rhyming, phonics, and more. But watch out for those pesky Troggles — who add a fun twist to the game by trying to “munch” the Muncher!

But behind all the fun is a serious dedication to building reading skills and getting kids to enjoy learning. It’s a product that will continue to challenge and entertain as kids develop.
