An educational program to give practice and tests on homophones (similar sounding words, like hear and here).

Correct answers an aeroplane on its flight from London to Paris. Seven or more is successful, less than seven crashes.

Excellent error-trapping, good use of colour/graphics in mode 7, and very easy to use.

Twenty-nine sets of 10 sentences are supplied, which takes up a massive amount of memory. A limited but useful program for junior/middle schools or remedial classes.

Instructions are on-screen and on duplicated sheets and are very comprehensive.

The construction of this program does not allow for modification of the sentences by the teacher/parent, though.
