MicroWorlds JR allows KS1 and KS2 pupils to create their own on screen environments and add objects that they can control using sequences of Logo-based iconic instructions. With its simple, point and click interface and comprehensive audio help, MicroWorlds Jr is ideal for pre-readers and beginning readers involved in control and modelling. MicroWorlds JR also includes a full range of turtle graphics providing children with opportunities to explore mathematical ideas such as number, geometry, patterns and movement.
