The AV Tutor TM is designed to support
language learners by linking visible
letters on the screen with their audible
sounds. This repeated, multi-modal,
kinesthetic, visual and auditory rein-
forcement helps solidify mental
connections between the written and
spoken word. Since the AV Tutor is
similar in form to already popular
consumer devices, students will be
encouraged and motivated to use it.
The AV Tutor allows educators to
facilitate independent and differentiated
electronic learning of core reading
skills within classroom curriculum
through its seven available cartridge
programs. It can also be used by
students who are performing at or
below grade level, speech-language
therapies and ELD/ESL applications.
