 Ultimate Writing & Creativity Center November 16, 2009
M. Norris
This software was a big disappointment, b/c most of the writing ideas are reports of a factual nature. I had thought that the software would take my child through the steps of writing, but it didn't. Furthermore, the motivational comments are not motivational to my student, but rather annoying. I spent the money for nothing. We are not using the software.

Wasn't very user friendly to my 9-year-old son. Can't remember where to click for the different functions. Not easily discernible.
 Makes writing fun! December 27, 2005

I got this to encourage my dyslexic daughter to do more writing. She enjoys playing with it. She doesn't think of it as an "educational toy," which is good, yet I think she is getting in a lot of good writing practice. It works well (we have it on a Mac) and it has a lot of cool features, like a password-protected journal and a feature that will read back what you have written. You can even add sound effects. I'm glad we got it.
