Reviews

Microworlds Junior is the latest in a long line of innovative and proven control based programs from LCSI which allow children to enter and explore the world of controlling computers to make the creations they can imagine. The added bonus of this, Junior, version is that this time pre-readers are invited to join in the fun too, by virtue of a virtually text free, icon driven interface which allows children to control the screen turtle to make patterns, animations, even interactive projects by using a simple and clear picture based front end which is simple enough for even an adult to understand. Naturally, language is no barrier in this environment, and pupils can begin their exploration of control in this clear and structured program. Logo based, but in no way limited to turtle graphics, this product facilitates a painless, enjoyable and educationally valuable entry to non-readers of all ages. An incredibly valuable educational tool that happens to be easy and fun.
