In Explore and Discover mode, if you click on one of the written words, Edmo tells Houdini what to do. For example if you select over, Elmo says Go over the doghouse Houdini. The dog then moves and says I m over the doghouse. You can select Question and Answer mode in which you are told to select one of the words. The Letter Machine helps children to learn the names and sounds of the letters of the alphabet.
Animations illustrate short sentences constructed from words starting with the matching letter.
The Letter Machine has a keyboard and screen. In Explore and Discover mode you click on a letter, for example C to display a caterpillar on the screen. In Question and Answer mode you are asked to find a specific letter. Get it wrong and you are told the letter that you picked and asked to try again. The adult section lets you tailor the keyboard.
