 PM
storybooks on CD ROM as a popular aid in helping children to read.
PM storybooks on CD are easy for you to use on the
computer. They provide a clearly spoken reading of each story, and many
related reading, spelling and vocabulary activities.
In summary:
-
Stories read out loud in clear Australian speech.
-
You are able to hear individual words spoken aloud simply
by clicking on them;
-
Includes simple word games using the vocabulary from each
story;
-
You can write your own versions of the stories, hear them
read aloud by the computer, and print them;
-
Software can be preset to suit students' individual needs;
-
A tracking option which allows teachers to monitor how long
each student has spent on each activity; and
-
There are two extra learning activities included on each
CD.
Reading
Children can listen to the stories while looking at the text and illustrations
on the screen. They can also click on an individual word to hear it
spoken. Stories are spoken clearly in an Australian accent. A different
voice is used for single words. This makes it ideal for ESL and special
needs students too.
Writing
Older children can write their own stories based on the illustrations
provided. Their stories can be read aloud by the computer at
any stage and, if required, printed.
Treasure!
Treasure! is a variation of the ever-popular "Hangman" game, in which
the computer speaks the mystery word. Words are chosen from the current
story, or (at the teacher's discretion) from another story or from composite
wordlists of many stories. Children have then to type the word.
Slide
Slide is another word game included with the software. In this game
the mystery word is spoken, then children must spell it sequentially.
As with all the activities, the teacher can adjust the game to suit
the student.
Cloze Exercises
Using the illustrations and text from the PM Library books, the cloze
exercises offer a simple and educationally sound way for children to
apply their reading skills. In the simpler exercise, they choose
the correct word from the alternatives shown. Harder exercises
for older children require the child to type in the missing word.
Powerful Teacher Controls
Teachers have considerable control over which features and which
books are made available to each child, and the degree of difficulty.
Teachers can, if they wish, provide different settings for each child
to suit individual needs. The teacher can, optionally, keep
track of each child's progress. The computer can maintain a log
of how long each child spent on each activity or story.
