Nouns and Sounds Sterling Edition
Appropriate for Language Development Stages
4-7. Correlated to State Standards.
The Sterling Edition TM of Nouns & Sounds is an engaging program that encourages individuals
to listen to and discriminate
environmental sounds and stimulates expressive
speech and language development. Individuals learn to match
common environmental sounds with 100 realistic photographs.
Optimized Intervention® Offers Improved Training!
Nouns & Sounds features Optimized
Intervention® technology, our innovative assessment and training
system that tailors instructional delivery to each student’s unique
needs. The program constantly tracks a student’s performance and
uses this information to provide highly individualized treatment. By
continually making decisions about how to guide the learning
process, Optimized Intervention® provides faster and more efficient
training.
Here's how it works…
Using Laureate's Optimized Intervention® technology, Nouns & Sounds begins
with a probe test and then progresses through the nouns and sounds
pairing in a developmental order. You decide to train using two or
three choices, whether to have visual reinforcement on or off, and
whether to include text. At the end of each session, a performance
summary is presented, allowing you to quickly review progress and
ensure accountability.
7 Activities
In addition to Optimized Intervention®, Training by Level, and
Testing, there are 3 additional instructional activities and 3
supplemental activities.
Instructional Activities
Is this the Right Sound?
The computer asks a question (“Does a clock make this
sound?”) and then plays a sound. The user must decide
whether the sound matches or does not match the picture.
Identifying Noun Sounds
This activity uses 6, 8, or 12 pictures. The computer
asks a question (“Which one makes this sound... ‘quack,
quack’.”) and the user has to identify the correct
picture.
Remember That Sound
In this activity, a sound is played before the pictures
appear. After a delay, the pictures appear and the user
is asked to select the one that makes that sound.

Supplemental Activities
Introducing Nouns and Sounds
A single picture appears on the screen and the computer
gives the name of the noun and the sound it makes
(“Listen to the sound a pig makes... ‘oink, oink’.”).
Exploring Noun Sounds
In this activity, either 6, 8, or 12 pictures appear on
the screen. When the user clicks on a picture, the
computer identifies the noun and plays its sound (“A
telephone makes this sound... ‘ring, ring’.”).
Concentrate on Noun Sounds
An array of 6, 8, or 12 cards appears face down on the
screen and the user must find two identical cards. There
is also an option to find matches based on sounds alone. |
