- Workbook 1.0 - Typing game with time limits.
- The Child is presented with words and sentences to a background of an OUT OF FOCUS PCX IMAGE and must correctly OVERTYPE the WORDS within a TIME LIMIT.
- If the SCHEDULE IS MET, THE PICTURE is PRESENTED again, this time IN FOCUS, and a MUSICAL REWARD is PLAYED for the Timely Scholar.
- If THE DEADLINE is NOT Met, a rude noise is made and the next OUT OF FOCUS and WORDS COMBO is presented for another TIMED ROUND OF PLAY.
- TIME LIMITS suddenly become imminent when our children start school, and deadlines can be as important to learn as the other more cerebral academic pursuits. Often a well completed assignment is not so well received when received late.
