Publisher's description of ABC 4 Kids Workshop

From Caltrox Educational Software:

ABC 4 Kids Workshop is a popular ABC Kids multimedia spelling games software used for kids to learn English ABC alphabets and word spelling activities using pictures, realistic speech audio and self-testing via a easy graphical and audio-visual oriented process. Includes full alphabets from A to Z, over 100 different picture objects to spell, realistic text to voice speech engines to teach the alphabets, spelling activities, pronunciation and a self-testing module to test out spelling.

The ABC Kids spelling games program makes learning the alphabets and grasping the basic spelling activities and concepts easy, using a logical step-by-step process that is both interesting and fun to use for the average school going child. The voice synthesizer teaches both the accurate pronunciation of the word and its correct spelling as well. The program is fully multimedia based with audio-visual output and the interface is specifically designed for children. Version 1 includes unspecified updates.

Editor's review of ABC 4 Kids Workshop

• 3.0 stars

This program helps teach children the basics of the English language, although its small word database may leave some parents wanting more. The application's main window features a keyboard, a word list, and a picture window. The word list contains four terms that begin with a certain letter; clicking a word brings up its corresponding picture in the other pane. ABC 4 Kids Workshop's speech engine pronounces each word, although the voice sounds rather mechanical and unrealistic. The program can give your child a spelling test, but that's the only real feature it has to offer. We also didn't find the app's library of words very comprehensive, as there are only four terms per letter. As a result, the utility only serves as a basic learning tool for younger children.
