====Selecting the Preset Game====
After selecting Word Invasion, your child sees a series of screens followed by an instruction screen that says PRESS ANY KEY TO PLAY. Your child presses any key and the preset game begins immediately.
===Playing Word Invasion===
As the game begins, your child sees A.O. (Alien Octopus) facing an invasion of words. Your child identifies a word that matches the part of speech beneath the octopus. Then, your child moves A.O. 's magic ring until it is under the word. When the ring is in position, your child fires and scores a "hit." If your child fires at a word that does not match the part of speech or at a column without words, a "miss" is recorded. Your child can move and fire the magic ring using either the keyboard or the Joystick Controllers.
