Primary Use: Personal
Pros: Lots Of Information, Easy To Navigate, Engaging
Cons: Hard To Install or Upgrade
Describe Yourself: Quality Oriented
Writing is one of those skills we use daily.I love this software for its four main subject choices: desert, space, rainforest and ocean. After the user makes a choice, the software introduces the situation and helps the user develop their writing techniques. The choices are "break the ice" topics. Each writer makes progress at their own pace. The capability and the versatilty of the program design meets the expectations of each wantabee writer.

The best part of the program is the spoken assistance, helps walk kids through, when they are still learning reading skills. My son's speech therapist liked it so much, she bought one to use with her clients. My son (who is Autistic)really loves it. He is really getting into writing his own stories with it. A big breakthrough for him. Thanks!
