This pack contains four Word Hunt programs. Select the number of the program you wish to load and press RETURN. All instructions are contained in the programs and are shown on the screen.
Each Word Hunt program contains a list of nine words. The object of the exercise is to select one word and then try to create as many smaller words as possible from the selected word. The control over the selection of the word and the amount of time allowed for the exercise is given to the user in the "Teachers' Notes" section. Once these selections have been made the program can be used by up to 20 players and their results stored for later recall.
Russel Wills began his career in computing in 1965 when he joined IBM as a lecturer. He then worked in Africa for five years as a systems analyst returning to the UK in 1972 to take up his present post as lecturer in computer education in Dundee. Ann Wills is head teacher of a primary school. Russel and Ann Wills share a common interest in the development of software for the microcomputer, and the integration of this material into the school curriculum.
