Testimonial"We trialled LetterLearn with one of our students with autism. ... the prompts are set up so well so that if a mistake were made, the letter is simply not recorded and the student has another try at it, so that the learning is errorless. This student spent an amazing 20 minutes focussed on this learning program, showing clear evidence of satisfaction and enjoyment. ... Congratulations on such a great program to use with students with special needs." Read in Full

LetterLearn is an educational computer game developed in Australia for teaching children how to type words
on a keyboard. Children learn to recognise
and name letters on a computer keyboard with the help of voice prompts.
Words are linked to images and organised into word lists. The game
rewards the child with an image of the word along with some music. You
can easily add your own
images and photos. LetterLearn is designed with a very
simple, non-distracting interface and is very forgiving when a child makes mistakes. This makes LetterLearn a particularly suitable game for early primary children and children with special needs such as ADD, Down Syndrome, Aspergers/Autism and other learning disabilities.
