Storybook Maker, a new graphics CD-ROM tool for the Macintosh and IBM
compatibles using Windows, lets young learners give free rein to their
creativity by writing their own stories complete with engaging pictures
and sound.

Using a collection of settings, characters, and objects, children can write
and publish their stories in a risk-free, interactive environment.
Easy-to-understand symbols help students choose backgrounds, pictures, and
words, as well as manipulate sizes and orientation. A "Say It" command
activates the computer voice to read text, and students can even change
the voice, decide whether it "speaks" as the letter and/or words are being
typed-or record their own voices using a "Record Sound" feature. Pages are
easily added or erased.

If the learner doesn't find just the right picture out of the hundreds
available, he or she can create one or change an existing one, using a
"Make Pictures" paint creation module.

Though designed for children in kindergarten through third grade, Storybook
Maker can also be used with older learners. Teachers can print reports
that identify the amount of time each student has spent on an activity and
list the work files the student created.
Storybook Maker is published by Jostens Home Learning in San Diego,
California.

The program costs $49.00. For more information, write Hartley Courseware,
