 COMPUTER PLAYGROUND, by Mary Jean Winter, is based on a child's natural interest in words, games and graphics A collection of BASIC computer activities for the Apple II, II+ and //e, this book is intended for children in grades 2 through 6. Each activity is presented as a "Problem" in a workbook format. Children will find the problems interesting fun and geared to their level of understanding. They'll type in and run sample programs-leam how to modify them-and complete partially written programs. Everything is kept simple so the child learns the programming process step-by-step. As the child progresses, he or she will learn how to use many of the features of BASIC-PRINT, GOTO, INPUT. FOR NEXT, IF THEN, POKE and PEEK commands are a few. By working in this manner, the child will build up a collection of Apple programs which are understandable and entertaining. COMPUTER PLAYGROUND is illustrated with over 70 colar cartoons and pictures to color. It's BASIC program- ming playtime! COMPUTER PLAYGROUND is also available for the Commodore 64/VIC 20 and the Atari 400/800/1200 computers.
