Baum's original tale of the Wizard of Oz is adapted to create the story of Oz. The story is made up of 18 beautifully illustrated pages of a book, each being depicted on the screen with the words, and the animated characters coming to life as the story, is told.
With the aid of this storybook options can be set to either have the tale read to the child, or for the child to read themselves with the text being highlighted along the way. As the story is completed on each page the characters come to life and act out a short scene before a new page is opened.
The storybook has the facility to be fully customised to your child's ability. Early readers can have just a few words to each page, and this can be increased as their reading capacity grows. With clear text, and bold, bright animation the child's interest is captured making reading an enjoyable, fun pastime.
A comprehensive glossary allows new words to be investigated and knowledge to be expanded, and observational skills are also developed by working through the screens.
With the capacity to develop as reading skills grow, and the friendly characters you will meet along the way, this truly is a magical way to learn! --Mandy Wood
Product Description
This CD-ROM celebrates 100 years of L. Frank Baum's classic book The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, which was first launched in May 1900, and features the much-loved characters Dorothy, the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, and the Cowardly Lion.
The magical worlds and characters of Oz are seen as never before on this CD-ROM, through the magic of 3-D modeling and animation. Children will be invited to travel with the characters in the search for Dorothy, who has been captured by the Wicked Witch. As they travel through Oz, children will encounter problems to be solved and games to be played.
These nine educational games, four puzzles, and eight interactive challenges have all been extensively tested for usability with children of the target age group, and approved by educational consultants. Children can learn about color, shape, musical notes, and simple patterns; improve concentration, listening, and ICT coordination; develop number and problem-solving skills; and practice estimating and comparing. All this, while using their imaginations and having fun in the wonderful world of Oz.
