4 - early 7. Correlated to State Standards.
This program uses animals, clowns, and acrobats to train over 115
vocabulary items and 26 pairs of opposites. Seven activities give
you a variety of training options to accommodate a wide range of
children.
Two Picture Instruction
The Two-Picture format provides direct instruction on 38 nouns and
26 pairs of opposites. 3 levels of training are available with
instruction, cuing, and feedback. You can set the program to train
all of the words or select specific items to be targeted.
Open-Ended Exploration
The Exploring Activities provide learners with

vocabulary items. You can choose to display only the
objects in the main ring (14-20 items per scene) or the
audience as well (10-20 additional items).

Full-Screen Identification
In the Identification activities, children are asked to identify
objects in the 6 full-screen scenes. If a child answers correctly,
the object animates. You can set the program to ask the child all of
the items within a scene or choose specific items to target.
Seven Activities Available
Train Vocabulary
Two nouns appear on the screen and the child is asked to identify
one of them (e.g. “Find the bear.”)
Train Opposites
Two pictures of the same noun appear and the child is
asked to identify each of them (e.g. “Which elephant
is young?” and “Which elephant is old?”).
|

Explore Vocabulary
In this full scene activity, the child clicks on any
item and the computer says what it is (e.g. “This is
a clown.”).
|

Explore Adjectives
A child clicks on any object in the full-screen scene and the
computer gives a description of it (e.g. “This seal is
heavy.”).
Explore Opposites
A child clicks on any object in the scene and the computer gives its
description (e.g. “This lion is asleep.”). Then the computer
identifies its opposite (e.g. “And this lion is awake.”).

The computer asks the child to identify an object based
on its attributes (e.g. “Which clown is happy?”).
