Keyboard Fun is designed to encourage children to learn the placement of keys on the keyboard, by matching keys to pictures, and to be rewarded with sight and sound.
Each letter is represented by a picture and a voice saying “A is for…” for example. The program comes with all letters already set up. The picture and sound for any letter can be changed, allowing you to insert pictures of a child, their friends, a favorite cartoon character or other clip art. You or the child may record new sounds to go along with any new picture. In this way the child learns where the keys are on the keyboard.
Spelling Fun takes Keyboard Fun a step further; asking the child to type words with the same sights and sounds being presented for each letter. The list of words can be changed easily, so that the week's word list can be practiced.
If the word is typed correctly the child is rewarded with a ‘success’ picture and sound. You may add your own pictures to illustrate any word. The time taken to type the word is shown. At the end of the session you can print out progress, showing which words were typed and how long it took to type each word.
