A CD-ROM program designed to teach special children how to use the mouse and master the alphabet

For PC or MAC computers

For preschool children and upwards

Featuring:

games to teach the mouse

more than 150 real life pictures and videos

a basic vocabulary (spoken & written) used to illustrate letters of the alphabet

simple to use so that even very young children can control the program

videos of the alphabet song (sung and signed)

signing of the alphabet letters demonstrated (Australasian signing)

alphabet can be accessed from a keyboard on screen

games to reinforce the learning of the letters of the alphabet from very easy to more difficult

This program was written with children with special needs particularly in mind. Thus the program features un-cluttered screens and rewards success at every stage.

Alphabet is the only program we produce that uses signing (Australasian) to assist in language development.

Alphabet now comes with an installation CD for Windows 95, 98, ME, NT4, 2000, XP or later, which automatically adjusts the screen size and colour depth to provide the best viewing of the program.

Price: US$10 (approx. NZ$15) plus CD production cost, shipping and handling

The minimum requirements are a 486 DX2/66 with 8 MB RAM, a double-speed CD ROM drive and a 16 bit sound card. The program runs entirely from the CD ROM so there are no disk space requirements.

Graphics requirements: The ability to display 256 colours is a minimum requirement. At this colour depth the digital video sequences will display but the image will be poor. The program will run far better at a colour depth of 65,000 colours (16 bit - high colour) or higher. All modern graphics cards are capable of this colour depth.

The program runs under Microsoft Windows 3.1 or Windows 95, 98, ME, NT4, 2000 or XP. Does not support Windows Vista.

Minimum Requirements (Mac): For the Mac you will need a Macintosh with a 68040 chip with 8 MB of RAM.

Graphics requirements: The ability to display 256 colours is a minimum requirement. At this colour depth the digital video sequences will display but the image will be poor.

The program will run far better at a colour depth of 32,000 or 65,000 colours (15 or 16 bit). All modern graphics cards are capable of this colour depth.

Recommended requirements (PC):

A 486 DX4/100 (or better still a Pentium) with 16 MB of RAM or more. A quad-speed CD-ROM drive.
