Let's try another level. Press any key to go to the "Levels 1-60" screen. This time, enter 26 (from left to right) as the Beginning Level. Then type your child's name again, and press '''ENTER''' to continue.
====Regrouping====
At Level 26 your child is given the choice of regrouping (carrying) visually on the screen or of regrouping mentally without displaying the process. To use the regrouping option, press the '''SPACE BAR''' when instructed on the screen. A small question mark appears above the column to which the value is being carried or regrouped. Type the number to be carried, add the digits in that column, and type the sum. The regrouping option is offered whenever appropriate in Levels 26 through 60 (no regrouping necessary in Levels 35, 36, and 41).
===="Let Me Help You"====
Now let's try the "Let Me Help You" feature. On the next problem, deliberately enter a wrong answer twice. When the border flashes red, press '''ENTER''' and the message "Let Me Help You" is displayed. Keep pressing '''ENTER''' as the computer completes the problem step by step, including regrouping, until the final answer is found. Thus, if your child has difficulty with a particular problem, the computer demonstrates the solution.
Continue to observe as your child works through the problems and gains familiarity with the program's operations.
