REDWOOD CITY, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 12/18/09 -- Graffiti
Entertainment, Inc. -- a subsidiary of Signature Devices, Inc.
(PINKSHEETS:SDVI) -- today announced that it has donated 15 of its
highly successful 'Reader Rabbit Kindergarten' for the Nintendo
DS(TM) interactive learning Games to GETSET-GO (Girls' Empowerment
Through Sustainable Educational Technology, Giving and Organization). Kenneth Hurley, Chief Executive Officer of Signature Devices, Inc.,
parent company of Graffiti Entertainment, explained that "...this
donation through Graffiti Entertainment came about when the President
of GETSET-GO -- Daniel Ostenso -- contacted me to request 'Reader
Rabbit Kindergarten' for his project in Cambodia (beginning in
January), using the Nintendo DS(TM) system. Since Graffiti
Entertainment has just released the 'Reader Rabbit Kindergarten'
title, and especially since we're dedicated to providing learning
materials that educate and inform young people, it was a perfect fit.
GETSET-GO, being a non-profit with limited funds, well... we were
glad to do whatever we could to help out." GETSET-GO focuses on
educating girls in developing countries -- with a particular emphasis
on using practical and sustainable educational technology -- often in
rural and poor areas where schooling for girls is badly needed. In thanking Mr. Hurley's generosity through Graffiti Entertainment,
Mr. Ostenso wrote: "You will be helping to make a tremendous
difference in girls' lives (and in their communities'). Whether
we're talking about improvements to health, economy, social stability
and national security...you name it -- Education is the seed from
which they all grow. And investing in girls' education tends to
generate the highest returns." The Reader Rabbit Series has been captivating children for over 20
years with the finest interactive learning products in both schools
and homes, having sold over 6 million copies since 1993, and winning
175 awards and accolades! Reader Rabbit Kindergarten has been
designed to interest children and encourage learning of basic
kindergarten skills such as mathematics, phonics, reading, and
listening in multiple contexts. This Reader Rabbit series is comprised of grade-based and
subject-based titles aimed at children from infancy through second
grade. Reader Rabbit is the main protagonist and goes on various
adventures usually involving educational mini-games. As the name
implies, Reader Rabbit's initial focus was on teaching young children
basic reading ability, however the success of the series has led to
math games and a series of grade-based (e.g. preschool, kindergarten,
1st and 2nd grades) games that cover various subjects including basic
reading and phonics, math, memory, and other skills including: -- Activities involving exploration
-- Comprehension, listening, and thinking activities
-- Practice games in an arcade style
