===== Information for Users ("READ-ME") ================
"Animated Beginning Typing" for Windows and Win 95
is designed for young typists, and teaches proper typing technique
for the letter keys. Sound effects and animation are used to make
learning to type fun (and funny). Help is given with an animated
tutorial, a screen to show proper fingering, and an on-screen keyboard
which highlights the correct key when needed.
There are three games in the program. "Jumping Letters" is designed
for very young students, and can be played at any pace. Each correctly
typed letter is rewarded with the letter being removed by an animated
"critter" chosen by the pupil. When 10 letters are completed (context-
sensitive help insures success), the child gets a silly cartoon.
"Letter Drill" allows students to choose between 20 and 120 letters
to practice. A report is generated at the end of the practice showing
words per minute, errors, and time. The last letter in the sequence
is removed in a silly way by a "critter", then the pupil is rewarded
with a cartoon.
"Flying Letters" is an arcade style game for advanced typists. The
speed of the game is determined by the player (and can be changed at
any time during the game). A report is generated at the end of the game,
and a funny animation is displayed.
All three games allow the student to choose a group of letters (such as
left hand home keys), or to practice all 26 letters. The animation in
the program is achieved using stop-motion animation, as well as other
techniques.
To Run: Run the setup program, and click on the "Animated Beginning
Typing" icon.
