Leaps and Bounds 3 comprises six well-planned activities designed to help develop vital early skills.

Sound Beginnings 1 is designed to encourage vocalisation through exploration and skills-building exercises. It
encourages and develops basic awareness of the dimensions of speech, such as volume, inflection, pitch, breath control and the presence or absence of voice. 

 Sound Beginnings 2 is the second edition of this highly motivational interactive resource, which is designed to encourage communication in young children and those with special education needs. Building on the features of the original, Sound Beginnings 2 encompasses even more exciting activities using voice stimulus. A simple microphone is all that is needed.

Sound Beginnings – Making Sounds is a welcome addition to the Sound Beginnings collection.

This PC and MAC dual format CD-ROM includes the Racing, Jigsaw, Blow-up, Invaders and Floating activities from the PC only Sound Beginnings 1 and 2 programs.

Age 5-11

A Busy Day allows all children to experience reading success even before the skills of phonological awareness are fully developed. Highly motivational graphics, activities and games encourage children to recognise words. 

A Busy Day has been developed by an experienced teacher in a special school in Belfast. Its approach is perfect for those children who may not have been able to access the normal routes to reading.

Age 3-6

At the… is a series of exciting and educational CD-ROMs, which are designed to support role-play activities based on children’s own experiences and provide teachers with an effective way to integrate ICT into the curriculum.

At the Café: Children visit a café or pizza restaurant and make choices from pictorial menus displaying food and drink.

Age 6+

Alphabet Track is a motivating and easy to use CD-ROM that enables users to learn the names of the letters of the alphabet and alphabetical order. It can also improve short term memory.
