INSTALLATION

How easy is it to install? Very easy

MAIN FEATURES

What is it used for?
What are it's main features?
To help provide info/ideas on learning and dyslexia

GUIDES FOR USE

Are there instructions/a manual? How easy are they to follow? Yes, very easy to follow. The only time I experienced difficulty was trying to read from the instruction manual. After the heavy legal jargon, which I did not want to read, there is a page which describes how to use wordswork. The text at the beginning is confusing but clearer when presented in list form.

EASE OF USE

How easy is it to use with a common sense approach? It is very easy to use the whole program. It is very basic, common sense and simple to view anything you wish.

GOOD POINTS

What do you feel are the most helpful features for dyslexics? a) VISUAL/there is large print, colour, movement and simplicity.
b AUDIO/it uses a variety of peoples voices.
c)ROOMS/mindmap qualities

BAD POINTS

What is disappointing about this software? It finished too soon. I feel it is an essential item in a dyslexic learners arsenal. I would like more of the same.

VALUE FOR MONEY

How much does it cost and is it good value? £125 (+vat)
Yes, well spent because it would be used frequently. This purchase has opened up a whole new understanding of the difficulties I face as a dyslexic.
