→"Letter Line-Up"
The letters are always presented in their alphabetical order, regardless of the starting letter selected by the child. In other words, the child may work all the way through the alphabet by pressing '''A''' first, ''OR'' he or she may choose any letter and work through to the end of the alphabet from that point on. For example, if '''R''' is pressed to begin the activity, the next letter presented after R will be S, and the next T.
====="A Is for Apple"=====
Continues the letter /sound/word concepts introduced in the activity above. The child is asked to match the letter with the object that begins with that letter. A letter appears in the center of the screen, surrounded by four numbered pictures. One picture shows the object and word that begin with the letter in the center of the screen. The other pictures are different. The child presses the number of the picture that matches the letter. If correct, all the other objects disappear and the letter flashes. Then a new letter and group of objects appear. The activity is repeated ten times.
Each activity begins with a set (or "screen") of clear, simple instructions, marked by a "parent figure" in the upper center screen and carefully worded to give your child the information he or she needs in order to play the activity. These instructions are designed to be read to your child, but after a few times you'll find that he or she will be able to recognize each activity by the colorful, distinctive designs and pictures ("computer graphics") that appear on the screen. Children may need very little help in playing the activities once they are familiar with the keyboard and the contents of the module.
