Product Features

The Basics of Writing in 3 Logical Steps:

1. Start With Pictures

• You can learn to express yourself with pictures - even before you actually read and write. Select pictures that show how big you are - or what kind of hair your brother has. Then listen closely as your choices are real aloud by the computer.
  
  
• Create a pet! Real or fantasy! 4,000 possible pets.
  
  
• Make your favorite lunch - there are 12,000 different lunches.
  
  
• What do you look like? Choose hair, eyes, mouths and more - 80,000 combinations.

2. Learn to Use Words

• Look and listen. Lead to read words as you hear them. Complete simple sentences. Put words and pictures together to describe when you were small and your favorite things.

3. Write about it:

• Express yourself with words. Use the story starters and interactive diary to record activities, thoughts and feelings. It's a great way to build skills (and save memories) you'll keep for a lifetime.
  
  
• There's a special place for you to write about your school.
  
  
• Where did you meet your best friend? What do you like to do together?
  
  
• Enter anything in your diary, whenever you feel like it.
