The software I chose for my evaluation was Word Rescue. This software is an educational game that focuses on reading and is appropriate for grades 1-6. The program works in WIntel and requires 2MB of disk space. It can be run from the hard drive or a 3.5 disk. The program can be run without a sound card but most of the music will be missing.
Word rescue is designed to help children improve their reading skills.
It provides them with a fun format to practice pronunciation of key words while matching them with their picture. Word Rescue is excellent in a remedial setting for students who are not reading at the appropriate grade level. It may also be used as a reward for exemplary performance during class time. I selected Word Rescue for several reasons. First, it is a fun way to enhance reading skills.
