Teacher Created Materials and Broderbund have combined famous Kid Pix tools with popular Thematic Units to add multimedia creativity to thematic teaching. The kit's CD-ROM includes all the software you need; you don't need any other version of Kid Pix.

Oral instructions accompany each activity screen, providing guidance to students as they work. The projects are great for promoting literacy since students can ask the computer to read what is typed, or they can record their own voices to accompany their pictures. A detailed, teacher-friendly User's Guide is included. The CD works with either Windows or Macintosh systems.
