The "Heads" series is to middle-school students what Berkeley's You Don't Know Jack titles are to adults (without the suggestive situations and language!) Word Heads has six non-stop channels jam-packed with word play! Wanna get IN on the action?? Kids can create personalized heads by scanning their own faces from photographs, drawing custom heads or importing pictures. Hey, where else can you compete in a game show, write news stories, and win a dream date, all while building a better vocabulary?
Features:
- Examines the meanings of figures of speech.
- Explore how word choice influences meaning.
- Construct words from prefixes, suffixes and roots.
- Learn to express ideas more clearly.
- Improve spelling skills.
Technical Aspects:
Word Heads ran well on our Pentium and on the 486/66 system. The product box gives a very clear representation of the software, with several screenshots and descriptions of the activities.
Report and Conclusions:
GET A HEAD FOR FUN! Heads TV will keep kids busy and having a blast as they play with words. The title is designed for kids ages 10 to 14, and focuses on vocabulary, parts of speech, figures of speech and spelling skills. There are multiple games and multiple levels of play! My oldest daughter (13) has Attention Deficit Disorder and has always had difficulty with figures of speech. She's still enjoying the first in the Heads series, Math Heads and Word Heads will help her with reading comprehension. Highly recommended because of the fun and content depth.
