Sound Beginnings 2 is the second edition of
this unique vocalization program, designed to encourage communication.
Sound Beginnings 2 encompasses even more exciting activities where the
program actually responds to the child's voice through a microphone.
Activities include:
· Counting – Creatures are shown on screen and users respond by making
a noise or saying the correct number, from one to ten.

· Flying – Sustain a sound for as long
as possible in order to keep a creature floating in the sky with her
balloon.

- Painting - Paint a picture by using
noise or speech. Call out colors and parts of the picture will fill in
accordingly!
· Racing - Use sustained sound to keep a car moving around a race track.
Students explore usageof volume - the louder the sound becomes, the faster
the car will travel!

- Placing – Reinforce placing or
positioning words by calling them out to make the character appear in the
right spot. At the simpler level, users may simply make a noise and see
where the character appears in the room.
Activities are configurable for levels of ability, and printable user
records are also available. There is even a gallery which can be viewed
showing saved screenshots from selected activities that the users have
played. Children will want to play over and over!
