Talking Software Only One of Many Amazing Features of Write for Kids

Scottsdale, AZ, October 20,1994--Coriolis Group Books and Symmetry Software
present Write for Kids, the complete hands-on writing software and book
kit that lets kids ages seven and up use their imagination and their
Macintosh to create letters, reports, newsletters, school projects,
posters, flyers, and more . . . and have a great time doing it!

The Write for Kids software is a kid-tested, full-featured word processor
with sound, graphics, and a fun interface. It gives kids everything they
need to turn their Macintosh into a complete writing center:

** Easy-to-use visual writing program.
** "Talking voices" that read stories and reports.
** Spelling-checker to help find and correct your mistakes.
** Complete editing and formatting tools.
** Fun-to-read book featuring "Try It Out!" writing projects.

Write for Kids has all the features of high-level word processing programs
(like text alignment, justification, multiple fonts, and formatting and
editing tools), but has fun additions, like colorful icons, that keep kids
writing. Instead of using confusing commands, kids can click on a pencil
and eraser to EDIT, a piggy bank to SAVE, even a bottle of glue to PASTE.
And hear wacky sounds every time!

Unlike any other word-processing program, Write for Kids talks in seven
different voices! With a click of the mouse, kids can change the speed and
pitch of the voices of RoboVox the Robot, Mr. Write, and many other
characters as they read stories and reports. An interactive spelling
feature (Whoa!) alerts kids to spelling errors as they occur and offers
alternate word choices.

Write for kids also lets kids drop pictures into their stories, and then
size or move the pictures to change the way they look. They can even use
Write for Kids ' amazing dinosaur font!

Included with the software is the incredible Write for Kids book, filled
with easy-to-read instructions and pictures that kids age seven and up can
follow. "Try It Out" projects highlighted in the book teach kids about
shortcuts, formatting, how to add pictures and color, how to create
posters, and more.

With talking voices, colorful graphics, and "Try It Out!" projects, Write
for Kids is the perfect way to teach a child that writing and computers
can be fun!
