Notice: We have had some reports that this game may not work on iOS 8. We apologize and we will update this game soon!

Help Aesop the Ant read through the stories. Be sure to pay close attention while reading because there are clues in the stories that will help him along his quest. I bet you can do it! Good Luck!

Aesops Quest, based on Aesops Fables, is a learning game where the player must remember elements of a story to complete a level. The game uses reading comprehension to develop cognitive reading skills. The touch mechanic of the game engages children in a hands-on learning process, implementing kinesthetic learning.

The game incorporates reading comprehension attuned to the particular grade level, based upon excerpts from grade-appropriate reading materials.
