AlphaBlocks... Alpha Blocks is an early learning spelling tool for very young children. I see children now at ages three and four that already know their ABC's, can print their name and show much interest in learning. This version of Alpha Blocks uses three letter words. It displays the alphabet on antique looking blocks. The blocks look like they have been played with for years which seem to appeal to the children. A picture is shown like say "a cow" and the instructor "Alpha Bee" talks to the kids and tells them how to use the mouse to choose the first, second and third letter of each word. If the correct letter block is clicked it will move above the first underscore for the word. Alpha Bee always brags on the child and encourages them to keep up the good work. When the last correct letter is chosen Alpha Bee says "that is the correct letter, so the word cow is spelt" "C" "O" "W" while an arrow points upward to each letter. This should help a child remember how to spell the words. Alpha Bee shows the mouse with an arrow pointing to the right mouse button and tells children they can click this button over any of the blocks to here what each letter is called. If "Help" is clicked Alpha Bee will move the mouse cursor to each part of the screen and explain what action each click of the mouse will perform. When you exit AlphaBlocks it will record your current position in the program and return to the same place the next time it is loaded. When AlphaBlocks is completed you are given the option to exit or start again at the beginning. System Requirements: Windows 98, Me, XP, XP Pro, 2000, Vista, Windows 7. Vista may require "Run As Administrator", 10MB hard drive space, 512MB Ram, Sound Card & Speakers, Mouse. Only $9.99
