- also contains two arcade math games. The first, Laser Blast, is a
- counting game that teaches quantity. The second, Applespider, is an
- exciting game that drills the student in basic addition, subtraction,

- Three music modules let you use the keyboard to write tunes as you
- watch the notes appear on the screen. The first level allows eight

- duration to be changed. The third level allows sharp and flat notes.

- lower case alphabet letters. The Random Words option flashes words on

- levels. The Homework Exercises option can be used to enter the daily
- spelling homework so the computer can drill the student on the words.
