Spelling is a quick stack that pops up simple drawings. There are 20 pictures in this stack. There is one button for each letter of the alphabet. You must spell the object in the picture by clicking on the letters.
A couple of wrong letters in a row will cause the computer to spell the word for you and allow you to go to the next picture. The selection of pictures is random. You can even add more pictures of your own.
Macintalk is required if you want the speech to work. It is not required as it will still work without speech. Some new machines may not like Macintalk speech and may bomb. Egads!
The stack is in 1.2.5 format but can be safely converted to 2.x format if required. The stack is not locked or protected in any way as you receive it. Go look at the stack script for some more hints in using and modifying the stack. Be sure to set the userlevel to 1 after modifying so the kids don't accidently screw something up.
