GAMCO’s Worksheet Magic Plus Released for Windows 7 and Mac OS X

St. Louis, Missouri, May 18th, 2010 – This week GAMCO, a division of Orchard Learning, announced the release of its best-selling software program for educators, Worksheet Magic Plus, for Windows 7 and Mac OS X Snow Leopard.

An all-time favorite of teachers, Worksheet Magic Plus allows users to create 15 different tests, worksheets and puzzles in 60 unique formats. Educators enter original sentences and highlight vocabulary words and the program does the rest.

“I cannot say enough good things about this program. For years, I have thought that teachers could do a much better job of designing their own worksheets and [Worksheet Magic Plus] has made it easier to do this, allowing teachers to enter the material once and generate more than one type of worksheet,” said Kim Moon of Kaboose.com (formerly The Kid’s Domain), a website for kids, parents and educators. “If the creators could hear me, they would be deafened by my applause.”

The extensive array of tests and worksheets includes: alphabetization, mix and match, scrambled words, big keywords, multiple choice, secret code, contractions, recognizing sounds, synonym/antonym, crossword puzzle, review sheet, using new words, fill-in-the-blank, scrambled sentences, and word search.

“I love this software program and I use it for all levels that I teach—from bilingual to AP,” said Betty Perez, Spanish Department, Oak Forest High School, Oak Forest, IL.

Worksheet Magic Plus is the second program in the GAMCO product line to run on Windows 7. The first Windows 7 compatible GAMCO program, Principles of Math, was released in April 2010.
