“Shelly the Snail is a great tool for learning not only basic computer skills, but also teaching young children letter and word recognition, the ability to compare, and sequencing skills – all vital building blocks in a young child’s educational development.”

“We teach our preschool students how to use a computer when they begin preschool at age 3. Shelly the Snail has become an invaluable teaching aid for us in instructing our pupils on using a computer. We recommend to all our students’ parents that they should get Shelly the Snail for their home computers."

My kids just love Shelly the Snail! After the first time through the tutorial and story they had mastered using the mouse and keyboard, and now they play it over and over again for the story and the activities. It’s the best children’s software program I’ve seen!

My five-year-old son has been more engaged with Shelly the Snail than I’ve seen him with anything! When I hear him laughing and clapping his hands while playing, I know that he is learning and achieving as well as having fun.
