A great idea!
Frazer and Peter are two 14-year-old boys who grew up in the same small Canadian town.
They have always been friends and classmates. Like all their other friends, they enjoy
going fishing or swimming at weekends. But for the last few months, they've spent every
weekend in Peter's room working on his laptop. This isn't because they have a lot of
homework. They have made a new computer word game.

The idea for the game came from Frazer's little brother, Kevin, who had problems with
his reading. Kevin learns words more easily by seeing pictures and hearing information
than he does by reading. His brother wanted to help. Frazer and Peter worked together
for over 200 hours to make a computer game and now it's ready to use. It's a speaking
and picture game. For example, if you look at the word 'hat', there's a drawing of a hat
next to it and you can hear Peter saying 'Hat! Hat!' at the same time.

The two boys have won a lot of prizes for their computer game and it will soon be on sale
around the world. Many schools are interested in buying it.
