The following programs work with a touch -screen. They can all be setup with different background colors, they can be made more or less sensitive (responding to click or to 'mouse over' events) and always provide success. They teach letter and word recognition for the student with limited coordination, the whole screen is available as a "button".

Rhyming Sentences |
In this program, a single, capital letter is shown, with a choice of two lower case letters, one of which matches the uppercase letter. The correct answer is randomly placed to the left or right of the screen. When the student touches the correct lower case letter, they are rewarded with sight and sound to reinforce the letter. If they touch the wrong letter it will beep, if they touch the capital letter it will say the letter. You can select to turn off the beep, make 'Mouse Over" activate the response; show the letters in random order or in alphabetical order; and change the color of the letters
