I'm posting this for my sister. She is vacationing in the states
right now from Brazil, where she lives. Her sons' school has
acquired an Apple II and a IIe. Among other things, she's
looking for good programs teaching basic skills like reading
and arithmetic (or anything, really, as long as it is well
written and useful). Her sons' are 8 and 4 years, so we're
talking elementary school kind of stuff. The programs will
be used by other children at school too, though.
She's already acquired Logo, thanks.
As a former teacher, my sister has some notions about what a
"good" program will do. For instance, she was not impressed
with a reading program that displayed everything in upper case,
since visually the two cases are very different. She prefers
positive to negative reinforcement.
These are just some basic guidelines, but all recommendations
will be passed along. Please reply by mail.
