Education developer Inspiration Software this week released an update to Kidspiration, a K-5 visual learning software suite. The new version 3.0 adds five new tools focused around math comprehension. These include Fraction Boxes, a dynamic fraction-building tool; Fraction Tiles for comparing and ordering fractions; Base Ten Blocks, which are designed to help enforce an understanding of place values; Pattern Blocks for exploring geometric shapes and their attributes; and Color Tiles for counting and developing computational strategies.
Other new features include:
- Word Guide for vocabulary development and reading comprehension, which includes audio pronunciations and definitions for about 13,000 words;
- Enhanced audio support, including the ability to record instructions in languages other than English for ELL and ASL students;
- A new Listen tool that uses text to speech to read passages aloud;
- Support for higher-resolution monitors with a larger visual workspace; and
- Vista support.
