Animated Spelling has more than 700 words (with sound) and nearly 70 animations. There are two games you can play: a matching game where the child can hear the word and then match it to a word on the screen, and a spelling game where the student hears the word, then spells it. Help is given as needed to help the child spell the word correctly. As each word is completed a piece is added to a picture, after 10 correct words the picture becomes animated. Two groups of words are available--beginning (box, boy, bump, bug, and so on) and advanced (because, become, behave, behind, and so on) so the program can be used by a range of age groups. It includes high-frequency book words.
