About

iType to Talk

Features
Read full description

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: The application and physical products begin by teaching children visual motor pointing skills. This initial drag-and-drop approach establishes the visual motor and phonetic integration necessary to type equally paired with knowledge-based content and ease of skill. The child must drag and drop colours, numbers, activities, items, and emotions while receiving visual and auditory reinforcement for whole brain functioning. In proper sequential order of scientific evidence-based learning processes, the child then engages in the more difficult tasks, calling upon their prior visual, auditory, and sensory knowledge. The child must then recall the previously matched word by typing the correct corresponding letters from a simpler field choice of two letters. The visual and auditory field becomes larger and harder, stimulating informational processing, working memory, visual motor, and fluid attention. Instructions and lesson plans are included. You will quickly see your child can type, read, and spell with iType to Talk!
