Is designed for young typists (grades Pre-K to 3rd), and teaches proper typing technique for the letter keys. Sound effects and spiritedness are used to induce learning to type fun (and curious). Help is given with an animated tutorial, a test to read proper fingering, and an on-screen keyboard which highlights the compensate key when needed.
There are triad games in the program. "Jumping Letters" is designed for very young students, and can be played at any pace. Each correctly typed letter is rewarded with the letter being removed by an animated "critter" chosen by the pupil. When 10 letters are completed (context- sensitive help insures success), the child gets a dizzy cartoon.
"Letter Drill" allows students to choose between 20 and 120 letters to practise. A composition is generated at the end of the practise showing words per minute, errors, and time. The last letter in the sequence is removed in a dizzy way by a "critter", then the pupil is rewarded with a cartoon.
"Flying Letters" is an arcade style halting for advanced typists. The speed of the halting is determined by the player (and can be changed at any time during the halting). A composition is generated at the end of the halting, and a curious spiritedness is displayed.
All triad games allow the student to choose a group of letters (such as left hand habitation keys), or to practise all 26 letters. The spiritedness in the program is achieved using stop-motion spiritedness, as fountainhead as other techniques.
