Roxie gently guides the child in selecting the correct word card. To play, the child needs to find pairs of words and patterned tiles. When a match is made, Roxie will say that word. The words used are all words from the next reading level. In this way, the child painlessly begins to learn the next set of words he or she will encounter in the next levels of the game.
Word lists are easy to enter, select, modify and delete when no longer needed.
With these features, the child can now learn words with which they are having difficulty, or words that they would like to learn to read, or words in a book they will be reading, extending the program's life considerably. Roxie's Reading Fish is used in schools and libraries in the U.S. and Europe. Children may still start any of theirCD ROM programs by simply inserting the CD into the computer. Alan's Fractions was developed to make learning arithmetic fun. I am releasing this application free of charge to promote interest in math.
