MyABCD Specifications
|
Let your kids learn the alphabet, numbers, and musical instruments.
This program provides an entertaining way to teach children basic alphabet and counting skills. MyABCD makes its tutorial presentations fun by including brightly colored animations young children likely will appreciate. Once a youngster has the basics, she can test herself with a number of games, including connect-the-dots, puzzles, and mazes. MyABCD also provides basic musical education by letting kids play drums, strings, a xylophone, and brass instruments with the touch of a mouse. Although you can't play anything complex on the instruments, they serve as a way of showing which instruments make which sounds. MyABCD includes settings on some of the games and animations for controls such as volume and computer performance, and you will find master settings on the Help screen. We would have preferred an Options or Settings screen, which is more the standard for these types of controls. The trial is also a little shorter than the industry standard 30 days. Those issues aside, we can recommend MyABCD to parents of preschool-age children.
