The aim of this book is to provide students with a clear understanding of the basic principles of using a personal computer. To accomplish this, the material in this resource is arranged in a very logical, systematic, and sequential manner. The language has been kept simple and clear so it can be understood by young readers. Wherever possible, pictures are employed to help clarify the computer terms and concepts being introduced.

This book contains over 75 illustrations, a number of reproducible activity sheets, and over 40 comprehension questions.

A reproducible dictionary of computer terms has been included so that students have a permanent record of the computer terms that they learn in this unit.
