Introducing
Nouns
and
Sounds
-
A
single
picture
appears
on
the
screen
and
the
computer
gives
the
name
of
the
noun
and
the
sound
it
makes.
("Listen
to
the
sound
a
pig
makes
.
.
.
oink,
oink").
Identifying
Noun
Sounds
-
This
activity
uses
6,
8,
or
12
pictures.
The
computer
asks
a
question
("Which
one
makes
this
sound
.
.
.
.
quack,
quack.")
and
the
user
has
to
identify
the
correct
picture.
Matching
Nouns
and
Sounds
-
Individuals
are
asked
to
choose
the
correct
noun
based
on
the
sounds
it
makes
("Find
the
one
that
makes
this
sound
.
.
.
meow.")
Is
this
the
Right
Sound?
-
The
computer
asks
a
question
("Does
a
clock
make
this
sound?")
and
then
plays
a
sound.
The
user
must
decide
whether
the
sound
matches
or
does
not
match
the
picture.
Concentrate
on
Noun
Sounds
-
An
array
of
6,
8.
or
12
cards
appears
face
down
on
the
screen
and
the

must
find
two
identical
cards.
There
is
also
an
option
to
find
matches
based

alone.
