Learning Ladder 

On entering this page, attractive sounds and animations used, would grasp the attention of any user especially children. The use of different colours and animated icons were bright and eye catching. 

This page lead to a room where children are given the freedom to click on varying objects which lead to differing activities for example; boo tags, name tags, birthday party cards and also given the choice of selecting their own pictures.This develops the creativity in children allowing them to explore and improve their writing skills. Note: at each stage and step of the CD their is a background voice giving vocal instructions. This can be of great benefit for children with reading disabilities. 

There are several reading and writing skills that could be developed through the use of phonics and children were rewarded on the completion of an exercises. 

Activity Section 

The Activity Section of the CD consist of games that could enhance memory, creativity skills, attention and co-ordination skills, with the use of games and other cartoon characteristics and animation.
