Before You Begin
If you are using
Language Tutor
in a classroom setting,
designate an appropriate space for your
Language Tutor
center. To the extent possible, this space should provide
a distraction-free environment for students. We suggest
that students use headphones equipped with a boom
microphone to eliminate classroom noise and improve the
quality of their recorded speech.
Note:
Language Tutor
supports the type of headphones equipped with two
separate jacks.
Getting Started
Students should be comfortable using
Language Tutor
before they begin working independently. Introduce the
unit, pointing out and demonstrating the function of the
STUDENT, TEACHER, and RECORD buttons. This guide
includes a brief summary of the unit’s operation.
Refer to
the
Language Tutor
guide included with the unit for a
more detailed explanation.
Monitoring Student Progress
Storing Student Work
Language Tutor
enables you to store and evaluate the audio
recordings of up to three students at a time for
each
card.
This important feature enables multiple students to work
on the same skill. This is especially helpful when several
students are having difficulty with the same card. To review a
student’s work, place the lesson card on the unit, dial that
student’s assigned number, and press the STUDENT button. To
review the work of another student on the
same
lesson card,
turn the STUDENT button dial to that student’s assigned
number, and press the STUDENT button.
The Student Progress Record
The Rhyming Word Families card set enables
you to match the learning task to the needs
of each student. The Student Progress Record
in this guide makes planning and monitoring
of student progress simple. Make a copy of the record for
each student. To assess a student’s knowledge of the target
word families, administer a pretest of some or all of the
cards. Have the student read the target words on each card;
for example, the student reads
black
and
sack
. Note the date
assessed and whether the student correctly read the words.
Set aside incorrectly read cards for further practice and
posttest assessment.
