| Features:
| • | The RWT!TM Learning System is designed with many safety nets to meet the needs of children who may have difficulty reading and writing. The instructions are provided with clearly recorded speech; they do not have to be read. The auditory instructions are accompanied by graphic illustrations and can be repeated as many times as necessary. | | • | Children can learn phonics, reading, writing, typing, spelling and punctuation, at their own pace, with clear, non-judgemental feedback. Games can be repeated infinitely. Self-esteem is protected in vulnerable students who need to work at a slower pace and tend to make lots of errors. The program is highly motivating to keep the interest and concentration of children who have difficulty focusing their attention. | | • | Children see words appear neatly spaced in a clear, large font, leading their eyes consistently from left to right on the screen. Writing requires reading -- you really can't write without reading what you write. The phonics children learn from writing in the RWT!TM Learning System can be applied when encountering new words in books. | | • | Children see words appear neatly spaced in a clear, large font, leading their eyes consistently from left to right on the screen. Writing requires reading -- you really can't write without reading what you write. The phonics children learn from writing in the RWT!TM Learning System can be applied when encountering new words in books. | | • | The RWT!TM Learning System provides a concrete representation of the keyboard with houses and characters whose names start with the sound of the letter. This is much easier for LD children to remember than an abstract array of symbols. If children say the sounds aloud as they type each one, their mouths can literally "help each finger" -- that is, it may be easier for children to mentally link a mouth motion and a finger motion (motor-motor) than a sound and a finger motion (auditory-motor). The simple act of speaking while writing engages multiple brain systems, and mobilizes maximum brain power for the task. |

Great for unmotivated readers March 17, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This program has been of tremendous benefit to unmotivated, struggling readers. Students learn letters, phonics, words, reading all in a game format that reinforces them with earning certificates. For some odd reason, the certificates have been the best motivator I have seen in a long time for the kids. The program teaches typing as well, but until kids are 12 or so, the are not motorically ready for touch typing. They do, however, learn the location of the keys.
Great software for 1st grader November 9, 2006
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
My son's school uses this software in their computer lab. We bought a copy for him to use at home as well. He loves it and I can see his typing improve.
Runs just fine on an old mac running classic OS 9 too.
