Product Description

Word is out! In an unspeakable attempt to turn the English language on its ear, Carmen Sandiego Word Detective has been invented! Join us in this exciting and motivational instructional program designed to reinforce students' knowledge of grammar, spelling, and vocabulary skills. Carmen Sandiego has stolen the power of speech with her diabolical invention, the Babble-On Machine. Even the most respected ACME agents have been rendered speechless. Language, as we know it, will cease to exist unless your students can stop Carmen's plans to wreak communication chaos!

Customer Reviews

A classic software program, but compatibility is an issue5
This program is not made for Windows XP, and will not work on a Windows XP system.

Another Classic5
This is yet another classic by the Carmen Sandiego line. This was the best of them all, and your kids will not stop playing it! It is more educational that I first expected, and has everything from grammar to spelling.
A good buy for your money. Sorry, a great buy for your money!

The kids love it!5
What more can I say? My kids (7yr old boy) and (9yr old girl) love it and I'm happy they're busy learning while being entertained.
