Wordsetter

Wordsetter forms part of the Learn to Read series produced last year by Sinclair and Macmillan. The accompanying booklet has plenty of tips for parents emphasising the enjoyment of the activities.

Theme is a card game for two players. The theme is displayed over two sets of six cards - at the zoo, food and so on. The game operates on two levels, either a picture and word or word only appears at the bottom of the screen and the players have to decide whether it belongs to their theme, and press 1 or 0. If correct, a card is turned over. The first player to turn over six cards wins, but if a key is pressed uncorrectly the player loses a card.

Order is concerned with putting sentences in their correct order. The sentence appears at the top of the screen jumbled up with each word numbered. The child has then to complete the sentence by pressing the correct numbers.
