About Spell
SPELL is a program for kids who like to learn to spell their first words.
Spell comes with 30 words. When your kid wants more it is easy to make new words. You can use anything saved as PICT or QuickTime as illustrations and/or questions in Spell.
Old children or their parents can use Spell to make a simple quiz or test.
Spell works like this: Start up Spell and write your name (or just one letter if you cannot write it yet). Then click on the green button to get going.
The computer shows a picture or plays a small movie. You write a word. If you spell it wrong twice you are shown which letters to use. If you spell it wrong a third time you are shown the right answer. When a level is finished you see your score. There are three levels with ten words each. You can get 30 points at each level. With 20 points you may go on to the next level. With 28 you may get a printed diploma.
Spell is very simple to use, made for children who cannot read and who are unfamiliar with computers. You can use the keyboard or click on big letters (in alfabetical order) on the screen.
Spell has on-line-help and a printable manual with information about how to use your own words.
Spell is released as shareware. It is fully functional, no demo. Non-commercial distribution of the Spell installer files is allowed. For all other distribution mail to: eva.wieselgren@tinnar-torn.se
