An easy-to-use guide which shows parents how a home computer can support their child's education. Author Sharon Harrison explains the role of computers in the school curriculum at key stages 1 and 2 (age 5-11). She provides a range of enjoyable home activities to develop skills in reading, writing, maths, reasoning and design - such as using a spreadsheet to keep track of pocket money spending, taking the tedium out of thank-you letters and how to design a simple website.
Clear instructions are included for parents and only the most basic computer skills are assumed. Useful advice on the most suitable software packages and other resources, such as libraries and cybercafes, is also included.
The book is illustrated with helpful screenshots and cartoons.
