Gives young writers exciting technological tools to use in writing, illustrating, and presenting their ideas with clarity and imagination. Ultimate Writing & Creativity Center combines an easy-to-use word processor with creativity tools enhanced by special educational features. Students can transform them into multimedia presentations complete with sound, music, and animation. Cross-curricular student activities in the Teacher's Guide help reinforce the five steps of the writing process.
