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!
