Monster ABC guides your child in a really fun way through the process of literacy acquisition. It helps children get to grips with letters and the initial sound of words in the best way possible. WHAT IS AN INITIAL SOUND? Today, little ones use initial sounds to navigate the first stages of literacy acquisition. An initial sound is the first sound of a word and is represented by a letter or a letter combination (like “mm” in the word “mouse” and “sh” in the word “sheep”). Children learn how to make out the initial sound of a word and match it to a letter.

The learning process is supported interactively with visualizations and sounds that are perfect for children. • In addition, a free-of-charge initial-sound table, featuring pictures and their matching initial sounds from Monster ABC, can be downloaded from the wonderkind website: https://s3.amazonaws.com/wk-anlaute/wonderkind_initial_sound_table.pdf • Monster ABC was developed together with grandparents, parents, and kids, taking into account professional pedagogical and linguistic considerations.

Valuatic Touch, an application of the Valuatic Suite, has been developed to facilitate many kinds of evaluation and assessment processes, such as: • OSCE Exams • Observational, Clinical or Oral Assessments • Surveys • Questionnaires • Checklists • Employees or Applicants Evaluation • Performance Evaluation • Quality Control • And Many More! The streamlined form design drastically reduces the possibility of errors and facilitates and speeds up the completion. Thanks to interactive forms, it is possible to implement question logic and display or hide items based on predefined parameters (e.g. the value of a prior item). Similarly, items can be made optional or mandatory depending on predefined parameters or values of prior items! Additionally Valuatic offers the following features: • Easily send forms to every iPad with Valuatic Touch using Valuatic Studio. • Synchronize evaluations directly with a secure server to ensure redundancy. Supports S3 and Webdav. • Preview forms without saving data. • Finalized evaluations are securely stored and are safe from any modification. • Prevent selecting the wrong form, examiner or candidate by enforcing selection through scanning of QR codes or barcodes. • Monitor evaluation progress in Valuatic Studio. Valuatic Touch itself does not contain any content nor has the functionality to create forms. Those may be created in Valuatic Studio - the companion application within Valuatic Suite - which is available for free on our website valuatic.com.
