"Green Screen" is an interactive software that allows children to play with the keyboard on a blank screen. It enables them to hear and see the letters they press, and if they hit the space key after a word, it pronounces it correctly. A fun way to teach phonics!
This software is perfect for parents who want to let their kids use their computer safely. Once installed, your child will see a blank green screen and can begin playing with the keyboard. The program is interactive and allows kids to see and hear the letter sounds they press.
What makes this software unique is that it teaches children proper pronunciation. If they press spacebar after a word, it will pronounce the word correctly instead of phonetically. The kids can use backspace and change letters to get it to sound exactly right, and they can experiment and try to make the computer talk to them.
To accommodate a child's learning level, this software offers checkbox options to have the computer say the classical letter names instead of the phonetic sounds. Additionally, if they manage to type a sentence followed by a period, the software will read out the sentence appropriately in intonation, then the sentence disappears and they can continue writing.
The 30-day trial version offers full functionality, so try it out before committing to purchasing. Other check-box options include having the software say the words but not the letter sounds, or only read the whole sentence and not the individual words.
Finally, the philosophy of this program is focused on functionality. There is no need of a 'theme' or 'game.' Kids love being able to use the computer, and in a few hours of play, they will learn more than many months in school. Overall, this software is an excellent tool for children who are just learning their letters and words.
