This software was originally part of School-Mom, a DOS children's educational program written by Dr. Andrew Motes, and was written in 1987. It can be used by beginning students for learning the ABCs and for learning to spell. It can also be used by more advanced students to practice spelling homework. You may add word files along with pictures and sound files so your child can associate the words with their images or definitions. Therefore, it can also be used by students learning to read.
