PORTLAND, OR – May 20, 2005
Kidspiration 2.1 has been named to Dr. Toy's Best Children's Vacation Products list for 2005. Kidspiration, the visual way to think, write and comprehend, was created for K-5 learners. Students build graphic organizers by combining pictures, text and spoken words to represent thoughts and information. Younger learners develop early literacy skills, and more advanced students improve comprehension skills and organize their ideas for writing.

The January 2005 update offers enhanced compatibility with new technologies being used in classrooms, including interactive whiteboards, Tablet PCs and Palm Powered^® handhelds.

Dr. Toy's Best Children's Vacation Products are selected in cooperation with the Institute for Childhood Resources. Established in 1975, the company provides parents and professionals with the latest information on toys, software, games, tapes and other children's products.
