HEARING WORDS PRONOUNCED (continued)
Learning the Alphabet
Young students who are learning the alphabet can work
independently or in cooperative groups with the KID-1240, to
see
and
hear
the name of each letter. This multisensory stimulus
aids in better retention. Press any letter, followed by the green [SPEAK]
key. To hear a different letter, press the [CLEAR] key. This will erase
the display so a new letter can be entered. This is an especially effective
method when working with language minority students whose native
alphabet may have different characters.
Help is at hand
Students can view the help messages by pressing the [HELP]
key. They can also hear the entire message read aloud by
pressing the green [SPEAK] key. Pressing the [SPEAK] key
again will turn off the voice. To go back to the previous screen, they
should press the [BACK] key
