TRANSCRIPT
Project Proposal
o Description: - Ray Chambers – Teacher At Uppingham Community College - UK• An early years program which would benefit children and parents. It would help
parents teach their children basic words on the go. Many schools send words home for children. It would be nice if there was a simple application which would teach children key words (spellings). The child would have words to spell correctly if correct then then they move to the next question. Once the child have 5 points (pots), they’re rewarded with a bonus game of catching falling pots.
• The sound will play out loud so that the child can hear how the word is pronounced. Once pronounced the child can swipe the screen to find a list of buttons which check the spellings. For animals, there will be sounds to help the child.
• There could be a version with sounds or without sounds which link to a web request. If there were a new set of words stored online, the parent could access a different library. I.E – Animals, House Hold Items, Actions etc.. Possible developments might mean that teachers could update a file of sounds.
• See next slide for advanced options….
Project Proposal
o Advanced Options• There will be two options available, the first available option will be multiple
choice, for new spellers. They will click on honey pots when guessing their answers. Eventually, they’ll become more confident in spelling and will try more difficult games.
• The second will require the child to type in the word based on the sound played in the pronunciation. All other menus and bonus rounds will be the same. They can use the same screen’s and class for this game.
