RightWord
License: 15-Day Trial Version 1.1.1
For: Mac OS 7x/8.x/9.x Size: 742 K
Program's Home Page Publisher: Tonbrand Software

"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
License: Freeware Version 1.3.2
For: Mac OS X+ Size: 786 K
Program's Home Page Publisher: Mattson Software

"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."
