learning and early reading. The group of user targeted to use this software is for
the syndrome called Dyslexia. This project acts an early exposure to learning
character and simple word. Researchers stated that children's cognitive
developments begin in early stage in their life and suggested children's software
should be designed suits to their needs. Therefore, this software will be the best
supplement to the traditional teaching and learning method where children
especially Dyslexic children, can help themselves in enhancing their ability in
learning character and learning how to read. The beauty of this edutainment
software is that not only provides entertainment to the user but also teaches the
user how to remember the character, how to pronounce, how to spell a simple
word. The children are also able to use the software at home without the
supervision from a teacher since the software have an agent itself that act as a
teacher. The methodology adopted to develop this software is System
