Sentence Sequencing

for the BBC Microcomputer Model B

Get in order
Nursery Rhymes

This pack contains two Sentence Sequencing programs on cassette. Loading instructions appear on the inside front cover of this pack. All other instructions are contained in the programs and are shown on the screen.

Each program presents a series of jumbled sentences which must be re-arranged to form a nursery rhyme or a logical sequence of sentences. Sentences to be moved are first located and selected using the cursor up and cursor down keys. The sentences are then moved using the red fo and f1 keys.

The "Teachers' Notes" give the user control over the length of time that a child works. Once the time is selected, up to 20 children can use the program and their results will be stored for later recall.
