→Introducing the ARCADEMICTM SKILL BUILDERS IN LANGUAGE ARTS Series
:: The ARCADEMIC approach encourages involvement by allowing selection of many features to fit individual needs. Players can select such features as speed of play, level of difficulty, and the time limit of the game.
===Introducing Word Invasion===
Word Invasion, one of the programs in the Language Arts series, helps your child recognize parts of speech, a skill necessary for success in reading and writing. Your child helps A.O. (Alien Octopus) battle an invasion of words. As columns of words approach, the name of a part of speech such as pronoun, verb, or adjective appears beneath the octopus. Your child scores a ''hit'' by firing at a word that matches the part of speech. While having fun helping the octopus, your child is also practicing an important language arts skill.
