- SPLG1TSH is Spelling I, Object Recognition & Spelling from the Terrapin
- Schoolhouse. This color only formerly commercial product has been
- released as SHAREWARE and appears here in the Suzy B's Software catalog by
- permission of the head of Terrapin Software, Robert Hinton. The program
- has been written with six (6) different lessons with twelve (12) multi-
- colored, graphic images in each lesson. The student is challenged to
- recognize each object, and input the correct spelling of the names of the
- objects. The 'views' of the objects are either vertical, elevation
- perspectives or the 'top view'. The program includes a unique one-to-
- one assignment of 26 different tones for each of the 26 different
- letters of the alphabet. When the student selects a letter for
- inclusion in the name of an object, the unique sound tone for that
- letter is emitted by your computer monitor speakers. When the name of
- an object is spelled correctly, the computer sounds three tones
- (musical notes) in succession which correspond with the first letter of
- the word; the 'average tone' of the word (computed from the linear scale
- of tone assignments for the 26 letters of the alphabet); and then the
- tone assignment to the last letter of the word. These tone assignments
- may be suppressed by turning the volume knob on the monitor to the lower
- limit.
