WiggleWorks for Macintosh

WiggleWorks software makes learning to read and write fun.
This CD-ROM-based program is unique among electronic books because it includes
multiple-creative activities that build both read-ing and writing skills in
children ages 3 to 8. And it's so fun that your youngsters will want to use it
over and over again. With WiggleWorks, you can get involved with your
children's learning as they explore all three engaging books included in each
package.
        The WiggleWorks series was developed by Scholastic, Inc., one
of the most trusted names in educational materials for nearly 75 years. Because
it's based on comprehensive educational research, WiggleWorks helps children
build the language skills they'll need to succeed in every aspect of school.
        To maximize its educational benefits and its ongoing appeal to
children, WiggleWorks can be used in a variety of ways. Beginning readers can
listen and watch as a narrator reads each book and the computer highlights the
text being read. (You can set the reading pace to meet the needs of different
children or the progressing abilities of one child.) Beginners can also play
with and learn about individual
letters of the alphabet. More advanced readers can read the text themselves,
with selected words spoken as needed. And children can record and play back
their
own voices.
        WiggleWorks stimulates creativity while it teaches basic skills.
Children can write and illustrate their own stories or modify an existing
WiggleWorks book. For even more fun, they can print their stories (in black and
white, or in color with a color printer).
        Each WiggleWorks CD-ROM features three different books, all with
appealing characters and delightful illustrations. Activity cards suggest how
you can help children get the most enjoyment and educational benefit from each
book. With a micro-phone, you can also add spoken messages to books, such as
activity ideas or words of encouragement.
