Happy Letters (UK) (1984) - Amstrad CPC - Educational, Language

A column of letters appears on the screen. A moving letter gradually moves down the column. The child needs to press a key when the moving letter is the same as the one opposite. When correctly matched, a fish swims out from the side and eats both letters before swimming back with a smile. If wrongly matched, then the child is given another go. Only if the 2nd attempt is also wrong does the program show which letter gives the correct match. Later stages teach the child to match capital and lower case letters, and to match a key with a letter on the screen. The speed of the program can be set according to the skill of the child. Happy Letters records all the answers a child gives and consequently, children's progress can be checked very easily.
