Each activity begins with specially designed "parent screens." These screens - clearly labeled with a picture of a parent - contain directions for each activity that can be read aloud to your child. Special 16-color computer pictures and graphics, as well as exciting and enjoyable musical tones, are part of the learning fun!

===A Note to Parents===
Your child's capacity for "learning by doing" is well known to you. You've watched him or her grow and absorb knowledge daily, and you know first-hand the thrill of discovery your child feels at mastering new skills.
Now we invite you and your child to join us in an exciting learning adventure. The activities in this module have been carefully selected to provide highly enjoyable and educationally sound experiences for the young child. As each activity is performed, your child is accomplishing a meaningful learning objective (we'll discuss these objectives in detail below).
In addition, your child is learning, step by step, how to interact with a computer. Children are natural manipulators of objects - they "learn by doing" - and they are fascinated by the bright, colorful responses on the screen to their actions at the keyboard. They are led in easy stages through the necessary operations and soon become quite self-sufficient in using the computer. With computer-aided instruction in the classroom advancing so rapidly today, this ability is an important plus for your child.
Best of all, your child is having fun while involved in these activities. The absorption of new knowledge, the mastery of new skills, a sense of accomplishment and success in a "grown-up" world - these are exciting rewards that are vital to a child's development.
