Wordshark is a program to help with basic literacy. It combines the excitement of computer games with the serious task of learning to read and spell. The games provide a multi-sensory approach to using sound, graphics and text to teach and reinforce reading and spelling.
Wordshark 4 includes courses to support the latest recommendations for a high quality phonic programme. Different games include blending sounds into words for reading and segmenting words into sounds, syllables, prefixes and suffixes for spelling. All common letter and auditory patterns are covered, also spelling rules, high frequency words, homophones, alphabet, dictionary skills and use of words in context.
Each of the 55 motivating games is designed to help with one or more aspects of reading and spelling. The games and the selection of pre-recorded words have been specially structured to assist those with specific learning difficulties (dyslexia).
The variety of games, concepts and words makes Wordshark suitable for use in both primary and secondary schools as well as at home.
The program has comprehensive administration facilities that allow a teacher or parent to monitor, customise and direct the learning experience of each student. The Wordshark CD will install and run on a Windows PC or an Apple Mac.
Note: 3 and 5 user multipack and network versions are available, call for details.
