The guide presents a collection of over 200 microcomputer programs appropriate for home education. All software packages have been evaluated by at least two reviewing agencies using the following criteria: (1) emphasis on user control of the learning process; (2) usable by several age groups; (3) usable for remedial purposes as well as first-time learning; (4) usable on computer systems widely available in homes; and (5) good values for the money. The entries are categorized alphabetically by subject, and, where appropriate, by topic. Subject areas are aviation and space travel, business, comprehensive (programs for all subjects), computers, early learning/preschool, English/language arts, fine arts, foreign language, health, home economics, logic/problem solving, mathematics, reading, science, and social studies. A list is included of names, addresses, and telephone numbers of software publishers whose products are described. A glossary of major terms used in the guide is also provided. (GL)
