Most of the educational offerings for the ST require a colour monitor. It's no
wonder that children are more attracted to the bright colours then to the dull
grey monochrome display but I know of many families that only own the mono
monitor. This simple program lets kids sort the letters of the alphabet after
the computer jumbles them up. Its GEM interface and point and click
environment make it simple even for the littlest user.

When first run, ABC Jumble fills the screen with GEM windows and then pops
the capital letters A though Z inside each. The drop down menu OPTIONS will
let you: 
                
                           JUMBLE UP THE LETTERS
                 The computer randomly mixes up the windows

                            START ALL OVER AGAIN
          Place all the windows back in correct alphabetical order

                           PLAY THE ALPHABET SONG
      Even when the letters are jumbled you can still play the ABC song
                           in the correct order!

                          SHOW ME THE HELP SCREEN
   This little screen reminds kids about the correct placement of letters


To move a letter window simply click on top of it with the LEFT mouse button
once. The letter will turn dark. Then click on the spot you want to put the
letter down. The two letters will switch positions! Keep it up until all the
letters are back in the correct alphabetical order and the child will be
presented with a tune and a winners box showing how many turns it took! You
may want to do a screen dump of the winners box (ALT-HELP) and print out a
copy for your child.

Kids can also click the RIGHT mouse button over top of any letter and hear
the correct note in the alphabet song.

If you have any ideas or comments, please don't hesitate to leave me mail
on any of the major online services. ABC Jumble is freeware. You use it at 
your own risk. Have fun!
