"Registered users" are encouraged to call or write to us to:

since age 2.)

INTRODUCTION


Eryn's ABC's program is designed for parents and their small
children to play together using the computer. With a little
guidance, your 2 to 6 year old will not only get help learning
letters and numbers but can also develop computer literacy.
The more you work with your child, the more they will be able
to use the program without your help.

ERYN's ABC's allows children to use the computer to learn the
alphabet and the arabic numbers from 0 to 10. The program also
plays the ABC song so that, you and your child can sing along.
In addition the program lets the child explore the key board
and the cursor keys to draw arrows in four directions. This
drawing function helps them to learn directions as well as
promoting computer literacy. It is similar to a computerized
etch-a-sketch.

This program requires an IBM PC, PC jr., or PC XT and basica
2.0 or higher, an 80 Character display (monochrome or color),
and one disk drive. The compiled version (available for
registered users) will run on compatible machines with
comparable software configurations.
