This engaging program stimulates language production by encouraging students to “talk” for a Tiger who has lost his voice. Preschool and early-to-mid primary students alike will delight in recording their voices to create their very own movies.
In this exciting program, Tiger has lost his voice and needs help looking for it. Children “talk” for Tiger and their voices are recorded to create a movie. When they’re finished, they can watch their movies and hear themselves speaking for Tiger.
This program encourages language production, promotes oral communication, and develops narrative and discourse abilities. It is suggested for students (Pre-K-6) with articulation, voice, fluency, language disorders, autism, developmental disabilities, emotional disorders, and pragmatic disabilities
The software uses a microphone (not included).
Engaging Conversations
During Tiger’s search, a variety of animated characters appear and ask children questions to elicit their thoughts, suggestions, and opinions. Conversations are developed using your child’s voice along with other pre-recorded voices.
Training Opportunities
Tiger’s Tale is an ideal springboard for accomplishing a variety of therapeutic goals. A clinician models a response for the child, asks the child to imitate it, decides whether the recording should be saved or not, and finally plays-back the child’s utterance. This gives children the opportunity to use and practise a variety of language structures and functions in a motivating, yet non-threatening environment.
Non-Verbal Alternative
If a child is asked a question and does not record an answer, there is the option to click on one of the characters and the scene will continue. This allows a child who initially refuses to speak to interact with the program and gradually increase the number of replies he or she records for Tiger.
A Rewarding Experience
In the final scene of Tiger’s Tale, students click on various objects to find Tiger’s voice. Afterwards, they can watch the movie and hear their own voices speaking for Tiger. These “home” movies, which can be saved for future viewing, are not only entertaining, but also enable students to measure their progress over time.
