EVALUATION OF THE SOFTWARE ABC FUN


ABC Fun i s a software designed by psychologists for teaching preschoolers their alphabet. I would recommend this software because of its inviting features. This software was designed using a variety of attractive colors which, would definitely stimulate the children’s mind. For instance, the initial instructions are straightforward, vocabulary is simple and precise and terminologies are easily understood. ABC Fun incorporates coherent audio, which describes the keys(letters of the alphabet) when pressed and images of objects along with sounds, pictures and spelling of the words which starts with the indicated letter. These characteristics make it simple for a preschooler to work on his/her own.

What makes the program interesting to continuously explore is that, every time a key is pressed a different object surfaces. This feature encourages and motivates the child to examine and re-examine every key. The headings on this software are easily recognized with blue and red color fonts and a substantial font size. This software is designed for children to progress at a faster pace, and also the features would assist the children with special needs as well.

The link provided would allow you to download a free trial version of the software and provides you with the option of buying the software for less than $2.99 US.
