Each program has an EXPLORE, LIST, and PICTURE PRINT option. In EXPLORE, children move to different areas, learning words as they go. Click or touch (with Touch Window) any object and it names itself. LIST creates a word list to search for. Where would you find a basketball, broom or mailbox? How about a fire hydrant, construction site or toaster? Teachers or parents determine difficulty of the word list. Scores are saved to track progress.

PLAY Tip
High contrast for low vision.
High visual contrast helps children with low vision or cortical blindness find and visually track toys. Use backgrounds to create contrast. Three tablecloths (black, white, yellow) and a bright light will help almost any toy to visually pop out! Spread a black cloth on the floor and shine a light on it. Now send the Musical Turtle on a trek across the cloth. It is so much easier to track now! Pick the appropriate colour background for each new toy, and turn up the contrast!
