Personal Talker recording device

Explore community, home, and school! Looking for Words is a community exploration program that combines reasoning skills with vocabulary building. It is an excellent aide for reading enrichment. Engaging graphics, interesting animation, and clear speech help teach hundreds of words in context.

 

 The Personal Talker is 1-message, 10-second recording device, ideal for use as talking identification, for community-based activities, and for expressive communication. It is pocket-sized, has a large press and play button, and includes an enclosure for picture or written information. A pen point is needed to record a message, eliminating accidental erasure. A self-adhesive bumper lets you increase the size of the active "play" area. Simply adhere it to the inside front opposite the play button and close the talker. Pressing anywhere on the front will activate speech. Batteries and bumper included.

The Looking for Words program features "explore," "list," and "picture print" options. In "explore," students freely move to different locations, 24 in all, learning new words as they go. Select any object, and it identifies itself. In the "list" option, students search for specific words on their list. Where would you find a basketball, broom, or mailbox? How about a fire hydrant, fire truck, or toaster? Use the "picture print" option to create student activities or illustrated vocabulary booklets. A new feature lets teachers select specific words on student lists. Scores are saved to track skill development.
