Friendly Menu

Each of the nine main games on the CD-ROM are easily accessible with the simple, kid-friendly menu. The name of each activity is voiced whenever the mouse rolls over its icon, so even very young children will have no trouble finding their favorite games. The program runs in full-screen mode on your system, so there are no distractions.

Customizable by Parent or Teacher

Each item on the menu can be turned on or off by the parent or teacher using a simple setup screen. Simply click the checkbox next to an item and it will be removed. This feature allows you to personalize the software for your own child. Even the exit button can be removed to keep small children from accidentally leaving the games. These settings are saved for the next time your student uses the CD.

Mel's Counting Game

This brand new counting game is similar to "Count Your Chickens", but with a much wider variety of things to count. There are four levels of difficulty, so your child can use this game over and over again.

Alphabet Action

This is a popular game on our website, and now it is available on CD-ROM. It is similar to an alphabet picture book, complete with voices and animations. Click a letter and see a graphic or animation for that letter.

Alphabet Out of Order

Have fun putting the alphabet back in order by playing this fast-paced game. The alphabet is displayed on the screen with several letters missing. It is your job to correctly place each letter as it is delivered to you by the robot.

There are seven rounds in all, and by the seventh and final round there are no letters on the alphabet. You must completely assemble the alphabet from scratch!

Phonics Memory Games

This is a set of four concentration-style games which reinforce the relationship betweeen uppercase and lowercase letters, letters and letter sounds, and letters and pictures. Letters and items are voiced, making this a good tool for phonics practice.

Each game has two levels of difficulty, displaying either 12 or 20 cards.

The Case of the Missing Letters

There are ten words with letters missing. A picture is displayed, the word for the picture is voiced, and one or more letters is missing. The child must choose the letter which correctly completes the word.

There are ten variations to this game, including short and long vowels, initial consonants, consonant blends, and more.

The Case of the Missing Words

This game is similar in operation to the Missing Letters game described above. In this game, the entire word is missing. A picture is displayed, the word for the picture is voiced, and three similar words are presented. The child must read the words and decide which is the correct word for the picture.

There are ten variations to this game, including short and long vowels, initial consonants, consonant blends, and more.
