The Magic Speller

Teaches the fundamentals of spelling to young children. There's a wealth of material here eg; speech combined with graphics, sprites and hints - all helping children to spell a very healthy selection of graded words. There are 17 separate samples from which to choose, including animals, colours, numbers 'TT and words' and so forth. Press any number to hear the word repeated as often as is required. Should the user wish to set up personal word files, simply run the Editor program and follow the on-screen instructions. The presentation is attractive and while a few words are difficult to understand, the explanation is always given for assistance. Overall, the voice recognition is good. This disk is a 'must' for parents helping their children with accurate spelling. Highly recommended for the variety of features present, including a spelling 'tutorial'. Includes Fast Basic source code on disk. Requires TOS 1.4 or later.
