DESCRIPTION  OF  ACTIVITIES

1. CORRECT THE ORDER!

A few letters will appear on the right side of the screen.  You must place the letters
in alphabetical order from left to right, by pressing the correct letter on the keyboard.
When one letter is placed in order on the left side of the screen, one of the letters
will disappear from the right side of the screen.  If the HINT key is pressed, one
letter is placed in the correct order.  There are a total of two hints in this activity.

2. MYSTERY LETTER

A few characters will be shown on the screen in alphabetical order.  You must fill
in the appropriate letter of the alphabet that should appear at the beginning of the
list of letters.  There is NO HINT in this activity.

3. ZAP-A-LETTER

Several letters will be shown on the screen.  One letter is in a different case than
the others. Select the different letter using the keyboard or by pressing the left or
the right arrow/cursor keys.  Press the ENTER key to confirm your answer.  If you
press the HINT key, one of the incorrect answers is removed from the screen.  There
are a total of two hints in this activity.

4. LETTER PAIR

Two or three pairs of letters will be shown on the screen and then covered with
cards.  Use the left/right arrow and ENTER keys to turn over the cards and match
the upper and lower case letters.  If two of the letters match, the “correct” melody
will play.  If they do not match, the “incorrect” melody will play and the cards will
return to their original position.  If the HINT key is pressed, all of the cards will
be temporarily revealed.

5. WORD MAKER

A word will be displayed on the screen for a few seconds and then be replaced
by a picture of that word.  When the graphic disappears, the original word will
reappear with one letter missing.  You must fill in the missing letter and press the
ENTER key. If the HINT key is pressed, the original word will be shown again unless
there is only one chance remaining to answer the question.

6. COUNTING STARS

A random number of stars will be shown on the screen.  In Level 1, you must
count the stars and select the answer from the list to the right of the graphic.  In

The correct answer will be listed to the right of the graphic.  There is NO HINT
function in this activity.
