With the great look and style of the Tango
Everyone has different approaches and theories about language and literacy. But no one disagrees that Visual Scenes Displays are fun to explore and play with.
And while we appreciate that people should debate what sort of linguistic benefits they offer, we can’t help simply embracing the cool engagement power they have.
So we’ve created Tangoramas: neat panoramas that provide location-based language that people can explore, play with, and learn from.
Tangoramas can set the stage for visiting a farm or visiting a doctor. They can aid in directing communication when playing with a friend or watching Mom do laundry.
And, importantly, Tangoramas leverage the disciplined and well-thought-out language organisation on the Tango, by keeping a hierarchy and letting you “drill down” from a topic to a grouping of related language parts to a single phrase or word.
You’ll love the way Tangoramas look. And you’ll love the look on people’s faces when they first see them – and the engagement they can bring about.
