| Read, Write & Type! is
a revolutionary program that enables children to write whatever they can
say. No other early reading program combines such a strong phonics
approach with writing and typing skills. Read, Write & Type! teaches
these skills simultaneously as children progress through a 40-lesson
adventure, building a multitude of animated sentences and writing their
own stories. Read, Write & Type! integrates three essential skills into
one essential program. Children help the Storytellers write animated
stories while building skills in phonics, reading, and keyboarding.
Includes 57 sound games with more than 200 words with accompanying
pictures. A progressively challenging sequence begins with single
letters, advances to whole words, and concludes with complete sentences,
including capitalization and punctuation. |

Instructed to Use
Incorrect Finger |
|
The instructions to
type the letter C key do not follow standard rules for touch-typing.
It appears that you are instructed to use an incorrect finger when
typing this letter. This is by design. |
|
Due to the size and
placement of hands, the instructed use is much easier for children
to complete. No version of this program follows the standard rule
for touch-typing regarding the letter C. |
