Sample Reading-Assistance Keyboard
intended to help the user learn how
letters, sounds, and words can build a sentence.
While Storybook Keyboards provide reading practice, Reading-Assistance Keyboards are intended to provide more fundamental help for the beginning reader. To see an example, load a sample Reading-Assistance Keyboard (read1.kbd -- see above picture). To use these keyboards correctly, you should have a computer with the appropriate speech synthesis hardware/software because they provide auditory sounds of different letters, basic speech sounds, words, and sentences.
With Reading-Assistance Keyboards, a beginning reader can explore a sentence to see how letters go together to produce basic speech sounds, words, and sentences. Pictures also can be included to help make the meanings of the words and sentence more clear.
