When Jennifer's parents discovered
DesignWare programs, they put Jennifer in
a class by herself.
Because unlike most educational
software, DesignWare gives Jennifer indi-
vidualized attention for months on end.
For starters, DesignWare focuses on
important skills—the ones Jennifer learns in
school. In fact, all DesignWare programs
are developed by educators. And tested
by kids.
The graphics, sound and game play are
unquestionably superior. If they weren't,
they couldn't keep learners like Jennifer
involved for as long as they do.
DesignWare programs provide multiple
levels of challenges, which let Jennifer
continue to grow long after she first starts
to use each program.
But best of all, Jennifer won't really
outgrow a DesignWare program. Because
they're designed to let her type in her
own questions and problems.
So Jennifer's parents can tailor her
DesignWare program to match her home-
work assignments. Or Jennifer can change
her program to challenge her parents.
Jennifer's parents think DesignWare is
in a class by itself. So it's not surprising they
give her DesignWare. Because they think
Jennifer's in a class by herself.
FOR ALMOST EVERY AGE,
SUBJ ECT ANTD COMPUTER.
DesignWare offers programs for children
ages 4 to 16, and for parents of all ages.
They cover a wide range of important
subjects including math, geometry, algebra,
geography, vocabulary, spelling, grammar,
history, computer literacy, and music.
And they run on Apple,' Atari
Commodore 64:' IBM" PC and I BM' PC Jr.
