Smart Talk is perfect for ELL, special education, early-intervention and beginning reading programs. Using crystal-clear audio, flashing lights, and fun sounds, Smart Talk guides the learner through a simple 3-step process. Just slide a picture onto Smart Talk and it "magically" recognizes the card and sets the learning in motion. Students "see" a photograph, "hear" the word associated with the picture, and then "repeat" the word until they've added it to their spoken vocabulary. Students then hear the word "in context" and are asked "questions" about the target word. After exploring the photo-side of the card, students then turn the card over to the text-side and follow along with Smart Talk, matching the printed words to the spoken ones. Great reading practice! Flashing lights, tones, and fun sound effects guide and motivate students through each card lesson.
Smart Talk introduces the "must know" vocabulary that English Language Learners and other children with limited vocabularies need to communicate effectively. By emulating Smart Talk's speech, students practice their pronunciation skills and learn to use standard grammar patterns in sentences and questions. By answering Smart Talk's questions, students reinforce their ability to construct sentences with the new vocabulary and hone their listening comprehension skills. It uses 3 AA batteries (not included) or optional AC adapter (sold separately).P,>
