"RightWord is a popular word game that is also useful as
a language learning tool for young kids. The fun of playing
it is to find the 5-letter words (in English) of which RightWord
presents the first letter. You can either play alone or against
an opponent, on the same computer or via a network. There's
also a factor of luck that makes the game even more attractive,
which has to do with 'drawing numbers' and achieving the word
'RIGHT' as column, row or diagonal in a colored bingo board.
Further, there are so-called 'red balls' to change the course
of the game. The program can import 5-letter words from any
text to extend its dictionary. "

"Capital Search is useful for either introducing or reviewing
the concept of capitalization with students. It starts off
by having students pick out the proper noun in a pair of words.
It then has them pick out examples of other types of words
that need to be capitalized, and it ends with a multiple-choice
section that reviews all the above. Few students will need
you at all during this one.
Capital Search keeps score in the lower right hand corner,
and it gives the student a final score on the last screen.
A 100 is perfect, a student who gets below an 80 is having
trouble grasping this concept and likely needs some additional
practice."
