Phonemic awareness - Point at the letter
Objective
Program is meant for recognition of sounds through hearing.
Children, clients recognise sounds using their hearing, they try to repeat the sound and identify it from the group of 2 or more sounds.
Program helps with recogntion of sounds through hearing and at the same time to identify the sound in graphic (written) form. Child uses several brain centres when working with this program and that helps with better retention of given sound. Ideally, the child identifies the sound using the mouse or on the thatch screen as that uses hearing, seeing and movement.
