A motivational games CD for your PC (Vista compatible*) to help children aged 7-14 improve spelling and reading at home.

Play the DEMO and listen to what the general public are saying.

Nessy can be followed independently or used to provide support for the Learning Programme, (this is a teaching resource used by many schools and home educators). This CD is a scaled down version of the full Learning Programme but is also a complete computer game that follows a storyline where skills improve as they grow their own pet Nessy.

Game Screen Shots:
 

The story takes children on a journey to the distant mountains of Ness to hatch a mystery egg and grow their own pet monster. As Nessy grows they are led through a series of motivating games that follow a structured reading and spelling programme devised by specialist teachers at the Bristol Dyslexia Centre.

 Homework mode includes a recording facility that allows children to record their own words to play with the computer games. In the Games Arcade parents and teachers can access 1200 pre-recorded words plus many graded sentences, so that they can set a spelling or reading game as homework. The pre-recorded lists include key words from the National Literacy Strategy.

• The range of difficulty options makes this game suitable for all children, including both gifted students and those with special educational needs.
• Each CD purchased contains a £1 cash back voucher for the school. Once registered with Nessy the school will receive a cheque for the value of your collected Banana money vouchers.
• Windows PC and Mac compatible Ages 7-14, Key stages 2-3
• Minimum system requirements: Windows 98/ME/NT/2000/XP Home/Pro/Vista* or Mac: OS X 10.3 Pentium 3 128Mb RAM

SEN NOTES:
Visual Learners: Brilliant graphics used in both the games and spelling screens, building excitiment as the child watches the points they collect to play the games.
Auditory Learners: Here the words and then click Nessy to hear the words again. Great sound effects for the games and the spelling screens to keep attention on task. Homework mode allows children to add words by typing the words and recording the words. Children will learn that speaking clearly will help them hear and spell the words correctly.

*Nessy has been fully tested for Vista compatibility and the only known issue is that when using the recording studio, Vista may pop up a false error message saying you can't record sound. This message can be ignored as the sound studio works fine.
