The CD-ROM story with great graphics and a hard copy book of the story enables the child to take part in the story as they learn. They can interact with the characters and progressed through the venture with Soolin, Darvid and Tem.
The characters go to the island of Selladore hunting for adventures. But Selladore has much more install than they could ever have imagined. They need to use all their strength and wit to survive, they also need to gain assistance from some strange and unexpected allies.
I am reading the book first the child can prepare for the challenges of the interactive version.
This is especially useful for children with reading problems of an older age group, as some of the reading materials available for their level appear to be young for them. This makes this ideal, as it is an adventure story, which can appeal to older children. Also there had the opportunity to use the computer to interact with the story. Comes with worksheets for class use, which include - problem solving, what are they thinking, recipes for spells, descriptions, word searches, crosswords and many more. In all there are 20 worksheets also.
Our son who has learning difficulties that is 18 thoroughly enjoyed this programme. Use at fixed rate for a long period of time until he had completed their tasks.
Evil to the great programme and now wants us to get one of the other titles on offer which is one of his favourite stories "Stig of the Dump".
Great programme for home for school use. Great value.
