 Nouns
and Sounds
Sterling Edition™
Here's a fun, effective way to increase
auditory awareness and build critical listening skills. Individuals
of all ages will enjoy exploring nouns, matching them with photographs,
identifying sounds, and playing games that exercise auditory and
visual short-term memory.
Product Description:
 Nouns & Sounds
is an engaging program that encourages individuals to match common
environmental sounds with 100 realistic photographs. Of the 100
nouns used in the program, half are acquired by typically developing
children by 2 1/2 years of age while the remainder are acquired
later.
Optimized Intervention® offers
improved training
Using our Optimized Intervention
technology, Nouns & Sounds
begins with an assessment to determine which sounds a student
can’t identify. During training, the student is asked
to match a sound to a photograph (“Find the one that
makes this sound… meow.”). The program continually
tracks a student’s performance and uses this information
to guide the learning process.
Flexibility and control
You decide whether to train using
two or three choices, whether to have visual reinforcement
on or off, and whether to include text. At the end of each
session, a performance summary is presented, allowing you
to quickly review progress and ensure accountability.
Seven
Activities are Available.
Optimized Intervention
This activity automatically assesses
a student’s knowledge
of common nouns and their sounds and then delivers highly individualized
training. Based on a student’s responses, the program
moves among three training levels, each with a different amount
of instructional support.
Training by Level
Students are asked to match sounds with photographs. You can
choose any one of the three training levels to accommodate
individuals who need a fixed level of support.
Testing
This activity can be used to document pre- or post-training
performance.
Three Additional Instructional Activities
• Is this the Right Sound?
asks students to decide whether a sound matches or does not
match a picture.
• Identifying Noun Sounds asks
students to listen to a sound and identify the correct picture
from 6, 8, or 12 choices.
• Remember that Sound presents
a sound and, after a short delay, asks the student to identify
the correct picture from two or three choices.
Three Supplemental Activities
• Introducing Nouns and Sounds is a single switch activity
that presents one noun and its sound at a time.
• Exploring Noun Sounds lets
users explore different sounds from an array of 6, 8, or
12 picture choices.
• Concentrate on Noun Sounds
asks students to find two identical pictures from an array
of 6, 8 or 12 cards that appear face down. |
